The cheapest amp you can find will probably blow after a few weeks/months of use. So are you sure you really want that? |

there are many good cheap brands.
Pierce audio has a good 4x45w rms at 4 ohms for 80$.
Soundstream lowest line is decent and they have very cheap models.
Profile is the cheapest of all mentioned. |

typically people on this forum get harassed for recommending anything cheaper than Kicker, but I'll take my chances anyway.
Here's a possibility...

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. |

Agree with Julio -- and I would also throw in the PG Octane R5.0/4. I think it is around 90 bucks. |

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 |
