What AMP to buy for 2001 Accord 2Dr
I replaced all 4 spkrs with Alpine 2 SPS170A 40W (200W Peak) And 2 690A
50W (250W peak) and sadly (and no suprizes to most people here) i wasnt much impressed with the sound boost. I am looking for a 4 channel AMP to get the juice out of the speakers. Please suggest what i should go for. I do not have any plans of installing a sub just stay with what i have. All feedback is much appreciated. thx Gary |

PPI or Eclipse...great products and conservatively rated....much more
oomph than the numbers show. If you don't want to spend the $300 it will take to get a good 4 channel amp from either of those 2 manufacturers, then the Alpine MRP-F240 will give you the juice you need for cheap. Here's a link to the best price on the web that I could find. It's around $127 not including shipping for 4 channels at 40 watts each(4 ohms) Matt http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?...&svbname =309 |

What about the sound don't you like? Amping it won't change the
tonality(sp?) of the speaker much. |

Thanks for the messages mates!
I don't see any boost in the bass. The only thing thats improved is the treble by about a few hertz. I am sure the stock deck is the culprit here. And i am sure the speakers can deliver much more than they are being treated to right now. wrote: What about the sound don't you like? Amping it won't change the tonality(sp?) of the speaker much. |

Gary- Of the 2, the Alpine for sure...but please don't pay $299 for
it!! Where do you live? Can you mail order? And yes, the amplifier will completely change the way your speakers sound...no doubt about it. Cleaner, more clear...less fatiguing to the ears. Also, your not going to get a lot of bass without a sub. Matt |

It sounds like you're using the stock head unit. I just bought a
Phoenix Gold Xenon 200.4 amplifier. It replace a Kenwood Excelon amp. The Xenon has smoothed out my Polk speakers. I can definetely heat a big difference. PG also makes a 100.4 amp that might work for you and it can be had on Ebay for around 260.00. |

Wow only 40 watts. who wants 40 watts amp? I got rid of mine with 75 watts so I could get a 400 watts amp. And I did not even pay around $120. I paid for mine $30 for 400watts amplfiier with LPF and HPF control. |
