Silver Member Username: Jaguar600Post Number: 127 Registered: Jul-05 | I am trying to find a relatively inexpensive 4 channel amplfier, but still something that will get the job done a little better than a headunit will. I found the Pioneer GM-4300F. Is this a decent amp? |

Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 1235 Registered: Sep-06 | Not sure on that amp but how much do you want to spend on a amp. |
|
Silver Member Username: Jaguar600Post Number: 128 Registered: Jul-05 | Well I found that amp for $100 shipped so somewhere around there would be great. |

Silver Member Username: Jaguar600Post Number: 130 Registered: Jul-05 | hmm I was looking at that kicker too.. Any other suggestions? I saw some power acoustics for good prices but I dont think they are very good... Also its going onto a factory radio if that helps |

Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 1242 Registered: Sep-06 | Stay away from Power Acoustics VERY overated. http://www.millionbuy.com/powasa4004.html http://www.millionbuy.com/phgr504.html http://www.techronics.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=5673 There all good but the kicker is the best out of those I listed. I hope this helps you out, |

Silver Member Username: Jaguar600Post Number: 131 Registered: Jul-05 | looking for only about 40+ watts rms per channel. Instead of putting a headunit in i am going to put in an amp. |

Silver Member Username: Jaguar600Post Number: 132 Registered: Jul-05 | Between these 2 what do ya think... http://www.millionbuy.com/phgr504.html http://www.parkaveelectronics.com/product.asp?itemid=PIOGM4300F&l=Froogle I never really heard about phoenix gold. Would it be a better amp than the pioneer? ALso it doesnt have speaker level inputs so where do I get the adaptor to convert to racas? |

New member Username: Tibr6Post Number: 2 Registered: Mar-07 | My 2 cents would be to upgrade the factory radio to a better aftermarket radio before you do anything else. Thats the best upgrade you can do. For amps I would use an Orion HP-4600 or the Kicker. |
|
Silver Member Username: Jaguar600Post Number: 133 Registered: Jul-05 | But I can get more power out of an amp rather than a new headunit and I dont need a new headunit the factory one is fine. Also if I take out the factory one I need to put in a $150 mounting kit to not lose the information center and I spend less putting a new amp in rather than a headunit and the mounting kit. |

Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 711 Registered: Nov-04 | I see what you're saying. You want something louder and cleaner and you don't want to spend a lot? I would take that diamond audio that Grant suggested. The kicker and orion are also nice. If those are too expensive, I'd take the PG over the pioneer. HU upgrade is something you'd want to do soon though. |
