Mini amp question

BensalemGTO · 02-10-2009, 06:18 PM

Okay so I have been searching for mini amp and have only found 1 thing on it all the other search results are for mac mini's. Maybe there is another term for it. I am looking for the type of amp thats built into headunits so I don't have to rewire everything. All I can find is this http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/revi...0watt-amp.html . I really hope there is more mini amp selection.

I put one of these on a friend's motorcycle and he loves it.

OHHH, I use 4 motorcycle amps in my setup.... here is a link on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/2-CH-300W-MOTORC...3A1%7C294%3A50. They are called motorcycle amps, thats why you cant find them. The 4 I have are only 150 watts each, but only because I didnt need all that power. Either way, you will have to rewire stuff.

Now I could put them in the place where the stock head unit was and put the touch screen infront, or do you think it would get to hot? Its a 2x dimm

P.S.
Found this guy looks pretty good.

If you do decide to put them in the HU compartment, you have to come up with a really good cooling solution. These amps are small and dont have the large surface area of bigger amps so they can heat up alot when being used. I was going to suggest the 4 channel version, but they are really hard to find. When you get them, I would cut a hole in the top and mount fans. Only thing I am not sure of is to have the fans blow air away or towards the amps.

search for arc mini 125.2 very mini amp without sacrificing things like audio quality.

My idea was I would just wire it up near the stock wiring harness so they way when I sell the car I can just pull the mini amp out and wire the stock headunit back up.

You can do that, thats actually how I have mine. I bought a plug and play kit. Basically I wired the PC to the new wiring kit and it has a adapter that plugs into the cars current kit. That way I don't have to cut into the cars original wiring. All I do is press a small button and the adapter pops off, plug in the Head unit and I'm done. Although now this is pointless since I have heavily modified the car, I can never revert back to stock, unless I replace the whole dash from top to bottom.
