Decent 2 channel amplifier out there?
Hello everyone,
I am just shopping around for an amplifier for my Bonnie. I'm not looking for something too highend (this car is 11 yrs old with 190K miles). All i need is for it to accept RCA in and enough power for the stock speakers. The wiring will be np for me (If i can build a computer i would like to think i can run wires) and i'm sure i'll put the amp under the passanger seat (unless someone knows something I don't).
So who has a suggestion for Timmay?

I'd take a quick look under the carpet for water before I mounted an amp under the seat. It wouldn't surprise me if you found some, or a lot, as some other members have found. I'm a big fan of mounting electronics "up" such as under the rear deck or amp rack.

Try Memphis M-Class, they are very compact and have some good specs on them and they arent very spendy. I've owned 3 Memphis amps and have never had any issues with them.

I recommend Soundstream rubicon. the last of the best before they were bought out. The rubicons are small (b/c they are digital), cheap (b/c they are small), and go highly un-noticed (only god knows why....). If you ever decide to upgrade speakers, you'll have already done yourself a big favor.

There'* a ton of room directly below the radio, and that would prove the easiest to wire as well. I am adding an amp to my car after thanksgiving, and am planning on putting it here if there is room. Hopefully, there will be, otherwise, I'll cut it in half and stack it, lol.
