4 channel amp on a budget

(brycejb328) · (brycejb328) **Join Date: Aug 2009** 03-28-2011, 7:20 AM

I was working on getting my boat stereo all dialed in and I am lead to believe my current 4 channel amp is not functioning. Power light is on, audio in is plugged in, etc.. even tested my work on another amp and that one worked.

So I need a 4 channel to power my in boat speakers, the speakers are rated at 60 RMS. Any suggestions for something affordable??

I am currently running 3 amps, one for in boats, one for a single sub and one for towers. Is there a better way to do this with budget in mind? I could always sell off the 2 functioning amps to supplement some cost.

Any ideas or info is greatly appreciated!!

I run a Kicker 700.5 for the sub and 4 inboat speakers and a bridged 4 channel amp for my two tower speakers.

A couple of refurb options for under $100.

(have purchased from this seller in the past and these are very good amps for the money)

You can also save a couple bux by just getting a 2 channel and running it at 2ohms. Look for a Boston Acoustic GT22 or 20 at the outlet that shadowdog posted.

I did a search on craigslist expecting to find nothing but junk... but I ran by a Kicker MX350.4, brand new in the box... $150... i was happy with that!!
