Unregistered guest | Hi Guys! Need some advice.....just bought a pair of old Bose 201's Series II speaker (8 ohms) from an old lady, rarely used and want to connect them to my computer. So i need an amp and i'm not sure how much power i need. I'm a student in India on a shoe-string budget, live in a small room, so dont need anything very powerful. ..Also, would there be a huge diff in sound quality getting something branded or built up (for my needs) Thanks so much! Would appreciate a quick reply! N |

Silver Member Username: CheapskatePost Number: 430 Registered: Mar-04 | if you're using kicker... you're most likely using 4 ohm car audio gear. most affordable home hifi gear hates 4 ohm loads. the best gear for car audio in home is "high current" amplification. DON'T use typical sony pioneer yamaha jvc denon or onkyo amps with car speakers... you're asking for trouble. |
