Best Answer

Subwoofers draw a lot of current when played at louder volumes. Thus it is either preferable to use an amplifier which can produce as much RMS (not peak) power as the subwoofer's power rating, or to be sure not to overdrive the amplifier since this produces audio distortion. Audio distortion can burn out the voice coil within a speaker.

They dont use anyYou could just put a microphone underneath your setup and hook it up to a speaker.When dealing with an electronic drumset you would not want to use an guitar amp because the pitch range of a drumset is to high, a bass amp would be better, and a keyboard amp would be the second best. The best option is to get a specialized amp for drums.
