Using UPS with sub-woofer?

Question

Using a Subwoofer with 300 watts of continuous power and 650 watts of dynamic power which UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) should be purchased? How many VA/WATTS should the UPS Battery permit in order to effectively allow me to shut down the woofer in time or to power it efficiently if a power surge or unsafe fluctuation occurs? This is the home theater section, so I hope you can realize that I mean a sub-woofer for the home, not a car.

Thank you.

Well, it is just my opinion, but a UPS is also designed to protect your sensitive equipment from an unexpected power fluctuation or spike. Cutting the power to a subwoofer is what happens when you shut off the receiver's power anyway so it is unlikely it needs protection from that. What is important, is the surges and spikes. Most UPS's have outlets that provide back up power as well as protection, and other outlets that just provide protection. In order to give you enough time to properly shut down your TV, receiver, game system, blu ray or dvd player, or DVR which are highly sensitive to an instant loss of power, and consume far less energy, you should connect the subwoofer to the protection only portion so it does not drain the power from the battery quicker than necessary. This will provide the neccesary protection, as well as optimized the battery backup to give you ample time to shut down your gear. I hope this helps.

I even have 2000tl's from DefTech and the subwoofers in the towers are became off in prefer of a unmarried sub in the corner of the room. the placement of the L/R audio device is merely approximately in no way the main appropriate place for a subwoofer in a HT device. And having distinctive sub places has a tendency to create a terrible interplay. My advice: use the floor sub in basic terms. tell your receiver the L/R audio device are SMALL. turn the sub crossover to that's optimal placing so the receiver seems after the crossover responsibilities. You dont choose the sub to '2d-wager' the receiver.

No need for an ups. Buy a surge protector is good enough. Save the money for some beer
