UK supplier of subwoofer amps and drivers?

Hi all,

Anyone have any UK suppliers they can recommend for large subwoofer drivers and subwoofer plate amps?

So far the only ones I have found are Wilmslow Audio and BK Electronics, but there must be more choice of amplifiers and big bass drivers for subwoofer use?

Try asking ADV-Acoustics if they supply the XTZ sub amps and drivers in the UK.

These are the subs used in the Bastanis Prometheus open baffle speaker

A couple of other units have gained my interest, not sure what would be best? the biggest issue is the room size and creating a passive sub with a high sensitivity to keep up with the CV's 103db sensitivity while giving a decent output around 20hz. Not sure how to work out what enclosure would be best?
