What Amp To Buy?

**Jakg** · 05-11-2009, 05:59 AM

I'm looking to build a car PC based on an Asus eee 701 and a Creative USB X-Fi Go sound card.

Currently I have stock rear Clarion speaker, and Kenwood KFC-1761S front speakers, with a Kenwood KDC-3041A headunit.

What amp do I need to run this setup? I am trying to do this cheaply, and so would rather get used Amp and pay less.

I would probably get some new rear speakers at some point - and perhaps a small sub but it's more than loud enough atm.

What would you suggest? And how hard is it to fit?

Also - how do I cable it up? Do the cables go from the speakers to the amp and then to the car PC? and if so - how if they have to go through the whole car?

How much are you willing to spend? You want loudness, quality, or some of both?

Loudness - The stock headunit (4x50w) is more than loud enough at 18-20 and it goes to 35...

Quality is more important.

Price - well i've seen some amps for £20 - £30 in the local cash converters...
