Can I pull the plate amp off my Phase Tech Octave 1.0 sub and use it for the SVS? It is rated at 240 watts contiuous at 8 ohms. Is there any danger in using the plate amp with the sub enclosure? Thanks, Jeff

    I dont think the amp could damage the sub, but the amp may not be able to handle the 4 ohm load. Also, the amp may have built in EQ for the phase tech driver and enclosure. I tried using 2 old subs amp for my Tempest and it worked ok but the new plate amps are pretty cheap and had more features than my amp.

    You can get cheap sub amps from www.creativesound.ca and www.partsexpress.com
