from www.amazon.com
i am driving them with a relatively high-quality amplifier (nad c-340) and can't imagine that there is a better speaker to be found in the sub-$50 price range!
from www.amazon.com
note: i haven't tried the speakers with a different amp, but it's highly unlikely that that is the cause of the lack of bass response.
from www.amazon.com
however, since rca hardy does anything with boombox's or mini shelf system anymore i just gave up until one day my dad brought home a sony fm receivers/amplifier.
from www.amazon.com
we were needing a speaker upgrade once we aquired a significantly higher powered amplifier.
from www.amazon.com

the newest model i just bought has the controls on the back of the unit as opposed to the top.the flaw that met my sub's demise- there are open air circulation grates on the top back of the amplifer

from www.amazon.com
it is also rated to handle up to only 200 watts max of power/peak performance, so it is possible to blow the speaker coils and/or built-in amp if you expect to use this at extreme loud volumes for
from www.amazon.com
my understanding of the built in amp is that it is a 200w peak and 100w rms although for that amount of power it seems to do much more than i would expect.
from www.amazon.com
this is a great sub, but the external amp does take up space (4") and is very ugly, but who looks behind the sub when they come in your home anyway?
from www.amazon.com
the casing on the amp is cheap thin plastic, but that's not much of an issue.
from www.amazon.com
the other thing i found substandard was the amplifier housing.

we are using a power amplifier instead of a receiver to get better sound.

the 150 watt amp really makes this sub punch.
