tbh, I think the mechanical part of the sub was fine, but the controller wouldnt switch on, so it was either the controller or the connection between the controller and the sub box. | |

you must have run the sub damn hard, they are hardy units. | |

yes, I used to have the Z5500 until it blew up and chucked the sub out :( | |

if they are $350AUD here, you should easily be able to buy the Z5500 for 150 quid over there | |

do yourself a favour and get this - the sub is powerful enough to shake the house | |

What ground wire? It's DC so it has a + and a - | |

I'm using a car amp for an engineering application. I use a bench power supply and it draws about 2 amps. | |

As mentioned above you're better off just using a car sub rather than the sub and amp. Theres plenty of tutorials on YouTube that include an old pc PSU. | |

I guess theres no reason why you couldnt use a 230-24V charger. | |

Hmmm thanks for the feedback, well at our uni house we got free electric etc all in with the cost so cost doesnt reallly bother us and it isnt going to be on all the time only at certain times for an hour or two. | |

I ran my car sub off my stack system amp for a while in the house, did the job, but using a car amp... Well too much hassle :lol: | |

I'm going to be frank with you from the start. Don't bother. It really isn't worth the effort. There are many reasons why this is doomed to fail and I'll list a few for you. | |
