extra amp.
I'm looking for more vol from my factory 64 Bonnevilles AM/FM radio. It has a very good sound but with the 4 ohm front and rear speakers and factory headers I need more vol while driving. It has a built in crossover network mounted in the dash that directs base to the rear seat speaker and mid and treble to the front speaker.
Is there a simple add on amp I could use here.
Help, I'm from the reverb 8 track era!

It has 2 Pioneer 4 ohm 4X10 speakers.
Its a mono radio but with the factory 1964 Pontiac crossover. The amp needs two channels.
I could hook the amp input up after the crossover.
The radios sound is very clear. I had a radio tech go over it and clean things up.
I also run a Sony add on trunk mounted CD player that connects to the radios antenna lead. It sounds very clear.
It needs a more power, when I want it loud, I have to turn it up almost all the way.
Its like the Pioneer speakers are not being pushed hard enough even at part volume.
The factory speakers were 8 ohms but didn't sound nearly as good as the 4 ohm Pioneers.
What do you think of this amp?

that is a decent price for that amp, but if you want it to sound good i think that you should at least upgrade to a stereo head unit and get a stereo amp. That way it wil sound more realistic
