Gold Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 1239 Registered: Mar-04 | typically people on this forum get harassed for recommending anything cheaper than Kicker, but I'll take my chances anyway. Here's a possibility... http://cgi.ebay.com/Used-American-Pro-Amplifier_W0QQitemZ160084929884QQcategoryZ 4950QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem It's an American Pro amp. Obviously it's not great, but I used one of the 2 channel amps from that line a few years back and it was a decent amp. I'm currently using a DHD amp in my boat, which is a sibling company of American Pro. It's a surprisingly powerful amp. For $44 shipped I think it would be worth it. More than twice as powerful as a standard head unit. |

Silver Member Username: JonespPost Number: 192 Registered: Sep-05 | thanx guys i dont think MS really understands me i dont care about the amp all i want is music. im not lookin for something to powe my speakers . i just need another power sorce just to get them working. but im still skeptic about this im not very sure this will solve the problem and for a $500 head unit i believe spendin 100 to get it to work is much better than another 500 |
