Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |

Ok I have a pair of M-audio Studiopro4 small active monitors that i bought for my PC, but I am no longer using them with the PC so I descided to use them with my tv/cable box to get better sound. And it worked i hooked them direct to the cable boxes variable output and it sounds good, the problem is the cable box doesnt put out as much vltage as the soundcard in my pc did and even with the volume all the way up it only plays at a medium volume, loud enough for watching tv most of the time, but I know they can play louder. I also plan on building a small DIY powered sub to use with the speakers.
So i need something that will increase the output of the cable box a bit. A preamp I guess but I dont need the volume control as I use the cable boxs control. Also I dont want to spend much money at all, I would like to DIY it if possible. And if possible it would be nice to make it with two outputs one for th speakers and one for the sub with perhaps a buiilt in x-over around 100hz.
