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.

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.

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.
