subwoofer
I need someone that knows about stereo equiptment. If I have a receiver that put's out 100 watts per channel and I buy a subwoofer that is 50 watts (peaks at 100 watts) would it sound ok and will it not break down if the volume is too high. Or should I just shop around for a 100 watt subwoofer.

even a 100 watt sub is pretty puny, all good subs come with their own amp... a good one will at least be 200 RMS power

In case you were still looking for an answer...
The sub will be fine. Just make sure it's not farting. (If you run a sub too hard you will understand). Most of the time you should have an amp with more juice than your sub needs.

That would sound like crap. It's really best to have a sub that can handle almost twice as much as what the amp puts out. I had a 600 watt amp in my car and a 700 watt sub, it still sounded like crap when I cranked it up. My home theatre has a self powered sub. I think it's only rated for like 75 watts, but I live in an apartment, so I can't turn it up anyway. If I ever needed, I can add another sub to the system.
Also, a good quality 75 watt sub is going to sound better than a cheap 200 watt sub.

Get a cerwin vega powered sub for LOTS of bass if you aren't too concerned about sq... if you want to spend lots of cash and get the best for sq get velondyne(sp?)

A non-powered 50 watt sub in the house usually is all you need unless you are an audiophile. Soo, uummm, now that I wrote like 3 pages, I'm gonna go now.

get a velodyne sub. They come with built in amps. I think they are the best subs. Sound quality is excellent.
