I have two of the Furman PST-8. One for my system and one for my IP phone and modem. They are plugged into a gold plated outlet I got a deal on. One unit also puts a breaker on the coax signal from my antenna.
Power for two subs.
Hi,
I’m thinking of adding two subwoofers and of course both require power.
I have duplex outlet with one outlet used for my amplifier.
That leaves only one outlet for two subs. Will a generic power strip suffice?
Do I need to purchase a conditioner? I really do not want to spend more than $350.00 if that.
Thanks.

we added a whole house surge protector ! i did have a big tv fried some years ago fr lightning strike ! it was spectacular ! YES it CAN happen! ( luckily i extended the warranty and reported it the NEXT day ! ) this one has 8 outlets and is only $69 add a couple simple L brackets you could mount it anywhere! a chi-com bargain! |
I live in the lightning capital of the United States and plug my large amps directly into the wall socket. I have a whole house surge suppressor at the meter so unless lightning hits my house then hits my electrical wiring, I’m pretty safe. Plus the large amount of insurance I have plus the warranty with the surge suppressor, I’m good. |
Hey @p05129 - You do you, and that's fine. As I've written elsewhere, whole house surge protectors are not intended for sensitive electronics. Even with insurance, personally I don't want to send anything off for repair. |
