Amp Recommendations

tblake · #1 01-29-2009, 08:52 PM

Hey Guys,

Looking into buying an amp for my rear speakers. I dont want anything special, just something with maybe 100W x2 so I can purchase some good sounding aftermarket speakers.

My issue would be I want the amp to have high level inputs.

Also I would prefir as "low-profile" as possible so I can tuck it under a seat or hide it somewhere.

Have any suggestions?

Thanks!

BTW, Paul, that is one SICK project! Nice work. I would have commented on your page, but I really dont know what I'm talking about when it comes to car audio, so I'd make myself look like an idiot

How much

money are you willing to spend?

most of the nicer amps do not have speaker level inputs. Try the profile amps but you will have to look around.

I'm not sure. Maybe 100 bucks topps for a low wattage decent quality.

Thanks Paul. I will check into Profile.

don't buy the brand that you never heard of. average aftermarket speakers will have ~50 watts RMS (which is what I have) each. so you are looking at 100 watts RMS total ..Yea you can get something like that for around 100 bucks
just look for ads in pennysaverusa.com

I wish more companies made decent quality, small amps in the 50-60X4 range

sundown audio just came out with a little 4 channel 50 rms one. that can do active

unfortunately, it won't be in the $100 range. It still might be worth looking into, Jacob and the boys have been on the ball over there at sundown.

The Eclipse xa2000 is a good amp. I just bought it installed, it really sounds good powering my front component speakers and has enough power for me.

But it doesn't have high level inputs.
