Can I replace a Klipsch KSW-200 sub amp with this. The original amp was 330 amps. I can modify the opening. Just have to fill in some of the opening.

Yes. It is 300 watts into a 4-ohm speaker. From what I read your sub has a 4-ohm speaker. Just make sure the cabinet is tight when you fill the open areas. This should breathe new life into this sub!

You should be able too, just check the speaker to make sure it can handle the wattage, I'm guessing you meant 330 watts so everything will work fine.

It will as far as giving you a working sub. Now if it's going to be an exact size match as the polk amp, that I don't know. I bought mine as a replacement after my klipsch sub died, it wasn't the same size so I had to cut a new hole for the bash panel and leave the old guts in it too

You wouldn't add it to your existing amp as it is self powered. You can only use an existing amp if it has the line level sub woofer out...do not feed power out in to it or you will blow it up! It provides a few options for hook up. It has two RCA type connectors that would come from your amp or speakers sub woofer out (make sure the amp doesn't put out power to the sub...just a line signal). The speakers I use are self powered Custom brand mid and high speakers that have a sub woofer out. That is 150 hz cross over and the sub has a rotary dial to select whatever cut off frequency you want...150 or lower so I just set to 150 on the sub. It also has connectors to connect two stereo speakers out which would normally be the matched Pioneer speakers....but I didn't use those....only use the sub for bass and nothing else connected. Impedance of the sub is 8 ohms but that isn't important as it is self powered. You can have it accept the bass output from either one or two speakers. Normally I use this setup for a stereo speakers system for a MIDI instrument. The bass from the instrument is output mostly from one side so only need to connect that one speaker sub woofer out but have used it with both speakers connected...works either way. Note that sub bass is pretty much non directional so no need to have stereo sub woofers....better to pick the best spot for the one speaker. The way that is done is to put the sub woofer where you or the audience will sit and play the music. Move around the room until you hear the best bass response. That location is now where the speaker should go. This isn't always possible but a good rule of thumb. Since I use this for musical performance rather than a home stereo system, I have different needs....but in any case this speaker is a remarkably good one and sounds better than many other high end subs....it is a nice tight, non boomy and no echo bass....so very realistic sound. It is excellent for the drum machine sounds and low musical bass I use in my performance.

oh god no. you would ruin your speakers by underpowering them. This amp is for your mid and high speakers. not subwoofers. 6.5"s amd 6x9s are what it is meant for.it does'nt come with a wiring kit, it does come with the line level input adapter.This is for a powered stereo, not a subwoofer setup

Hi Steven ! Just use the RIGHT input on the sub from your mono amp output and you will be good to go! A Y-cord is not necessary and could end up harming the Klipsch amp. (happened to me unfortunately) Cheers! Marty G

Yes, if you just replacing the radio it will work great. You will need a radio with more RCA outputs if you decide to add any subwoofer amps though.

A bit late on my response, but personally I would go with the Polk. Read up on the issues that these have with Amps and fuses popping and the only option is to replace the Amp (About $160 plus shipping). One Amp replacement puts this sub into a totally different price range with subs that are better for the money.

I wouldn't get the Klipsch due to the low quality of the preamp. Within months I started getting a popping/hissing and sometimes cutting out of the sound in one channel or the other. Turning the volume dial back and forth would resolve the problem, for maybe 15 minutes. Then over months, the subwoofer slowly got quieter. Turning the sub all the way up and I could barely hear it. I just dumped my ProMedia 2.1 in the trash. Never heard the z623, but it couldn't be worse than the ProMedia 2.1. I now went with Micca MB42X speakers and a Lepai LP-2020A+ amp. Sound quality is MUCH better, not so "forward" and tiring to listen to like the ProMedia 2.1. I wouldn't get the Klipsch due to the low quality of the preamp.

No this is subs. You're going to need new back speakers. Get some quality 6x9s for those and get a good watt amp at least 1400 for these bad boys

technically no but all buys aftermarket speakers and not put an amp on them. it just makes it sound a lot better. i was in the same boat. bought these and 6.5's for the door they sounded a alright but after I put an amp it mKe them sound a lot better. you can go with a alpine 4 ch amp. 300 watt would be great

Yes. According to the specs from Parts-express. As long as your sub can handle the power you should be fine. I replaced my plate amplifier years ago and it has sounded better than the original PSB and never given me 1 second of problems. If I were building a sub there is no other amplifier I would choose. The most problematic area on installation is the mounting. After that just pure clean bass that is deep and smooth. 300 watts RMS @ 0.5% THD into 4 ohm load * Signal to noise ratio: 105 dB (A-weighted) * Dimensions: 11" W x 7" H x 4" D * Cabinet cutout: 10" x 6-1/4" * Line-in and high-level in crossovers: Adjustable 50 to 150 Hz, 12 dB/octave low-pass crossover, and a fixed 330 Hz, 12 dB/octave low-pass crossover * LFE-in crossover: Fixed 330 Hz, 12 dB/octave low-pass crossover

I have a pioneer amp and sub. It worked perfectly. But yeah its universal. Just be careful they have been messing up on orders cause i saw the other answers to your question where they messed up on theirs too. I got some removal tool. I calles them and they immediately sent me the actual kit. They paid for the shipping and it was express so they had it to me within a couple of days

Good idea, always better to hear from everyday user's as opposed to someone that works for the company. There may other amps the knob works for that they might not know of, long shot but it may be true lol. I have a kenwood pushing my 2 12's but I forgot which amp I have cause my cars been in the shop for a while. And I did have to purchase the knob separate though. Probably doesn't help any but I would wait and see what others reply, good luck bro ! Oh and by the way check ebay u might get it cheaper there, I only paid about 25$ for mine !

I don't know what your cutout dimensions are for the old amp you can measure that and compare it to the bash amp, on mine the amp cutout was a little to big so I cut a piece of plywood to cover up the original cutout and re cut it to the exact dimensions, the amp works great

I bought a pair for stereo speakers. Used one in one set that I was repairing. Sounded good and they are very inexpensive, yet well made. Don't know about how welll they'd stand up to 500 watts. But in a combo amp, which are usually not huge amps, I'm sure it will work just fine. And youl'll save a few bucks for a case of beer to slowly break in your new speaker(s)! Best of luck and 'Rock On!'
