Speaker/Amp/Subwoofer help and recommendations

Wednesday_My_Dudes · May 31, 2017

Hello!
So I bought a pair of Technics SB-K476's (150 watt, 8 Ohm)at a garage sale and I have been looking for an amp and a subwoofer to pair with them. But I don't have a very big budget (Around $120) and I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for good cheap subs/amps. Bonus: I've got some other small speakers (60 watt, 6 Ohm and ?? Watt, 4 Ohm) would there be a way to use all six speakers + subwoofer with the same amp for my budget?
Thank you guys in advance!

You probably won't need a sub with those speakers. Any sub that would keep up with those will be beyond your budget. You need about 40-100 watts. Don't worry about the power rating on them. That is a max and usually an exaggerated one based on peak power not continuous RMS rated power.
You don't mention if you want surround sound or stereo.
For surround sound a used AV receiver would be your only option in that price range. Older ones without HDMI don't go for much. You want one with digital inputs.
For stereo you can go with a low end stereo receiver

or a used stereo receiver or integrated amp.
In most cases you want to use the best speakers you have in stereo and not add inferior speakers to degrade the sound.

Thank you for the reply! This morning I found some old Heathkit AS-48's in the attic, a little roughed up but nothing that cant be fixed, and was thinking about pairing them with my other large speakers for a surround setup. Last night I went on Ebay and found a nice looking Yamaha reciever (http

Would I need anything else to pair with the speaker/receiver combo?
