    Post What kind of Amp should I get?

    I have run my carpc for a while, and everything is working perfectly.

    Now I am trying to integrate my screen into the dash, this means I have to remove the HU, so I need a 4 channels amp for the sound. I am not an audiophile, what kind of amp should i get and at what price range?

    Are you using stock speaker?

    If yes, you only need a small 4ch amplifier (if you have 4 speakers).

    Get good stuff if you plan to upgrade, if not, pretty any amp will sound better than your HU...

    Get a Red one, Red amplifiers always sound the best....

    Well, Sorry about the Smart @$$ remark... . It would be difficult to make your question more vague, and it is more difficult answer without more info on what you have, what you want, space, money, etc..
