good budget amp
« on: 02 April 2012, 00:20 »
lookin to upgrade my stock sound system soon, heard the standard OEM speakers are of a good build quality.
just lookin for a cheap but quality amp for the front and rear speakers, not plannin on any subs or anything.
i know you get what you pay for  and the ones on ebay have a notbad write up at 4x 75 RMS, or is this just sh!te.
not wana spend big bucks just somethin to make my music sound a lot cleaner when turned up  :grin:

Standard speakers are rubbish!

A Sony is a good budget amp.

cheers, depends what your aiming for i suppose.
dont want the usual chavied up loudness with subs n stuff, just want my music to sound clearer when up full ie, not distorted.

Standard speakers in the Mk4 are much better than standard ones in a MK3 :wink:

got this at a bargain price http://www.dakmart.com/p10951/Sony-XM-ZR604-Xplod-4-Channel-600-watt-Car-Amplifier-XMZR604-/product_info.html.

just amped up the front speakers, was gna bridge the other 2 channels for a sub and run the rears off the head unit.

sounds gr8 with just the amp n stock speakers however, I want it louder lol so may upgrade the speakers as well.

I had a twin 10" amped sub box in mine 800w rms of pure bass certainly was loud enough  :grin: it apprently peaked at 2000w but we all know peak figures are nonsense  :grin:
