If you looking for a new subwoofer amp then try these

Rythmik Audio • Subwoofer plate amplifiers

not sure about M&k subwoofer amp as its only 272w

The megabass II is more like 250-300 WRMS. It is a common design.

I have one for my PC setup.

Kef subs don't break, it's a figment of your imagination. Go and buy a new KEF.



This is getting annoying, we have hundreds of posts of KEF subs breaking and KEF stick their heads in the sand and say we are biased...

Take a deep breathe Dave and try and help the OP...

What was the Wattage of the old Amp plate?

Hi its a 15 inch driver and a 300 watt amp, the RRP price was £800 a few years ago this is the link to them KEF Audio - 21st Century - TDM45B
It all worked fine untill the amp went bang and KEf could not repair the amp, and they did not have any spare amps and then it became discontinued ! So I have a big black box with a 15 inch driver but no amp.

I reckon you would get a good sub by buying a new amp panel and rebuilding what you have. I would recommend a BK one, but I only recommend them because I bought a 100W one 6 years ago and it still works. I feel guilty every time I recommend them

To get the equivalent of the THX setting then you just need an amp capable of an unprocessed feed to the drive unit.
It relies on the Pre-amp for the low pass crossover and the natural rolloff of the drive unit to comply with the THX specs.

If you want the equivalent of the stereo/music/standard/deep (or whatever they call it on your sub) setting then you'll want one that has switchable EQ to boost the low end.
I hope this helps,

Paul.

Something just dawned on me. Ive had my duff PSW2010 lying round for an age now. Ive also had my Behrringer amp lying around waiting for my DIY build. So I whipped out the Kef amp, plugged in the Behrringer and hey presto, a fully working sub again.

Perhaps there is a simple solution akin to that one for yourself too.

Have you asked KEF for a quote on a new amp, I know this may seem like jumping back into the fire a bit but I have enquired in the past about new amps for my 45b and my PSW3000 and they were only about £150 or so, only sold the 45b for something smaller mind you, got the 3000 instead and that died after 5 years so gave it away!!!

Now looking to either make my own or buy a BK
