Amplifier for 3.5s

Post by Mithrandir »

I was thinking about buying a cheap amp, like pyramid, pyle or somthin like that for 24 bucks, its like 35x2 rms. I was wondering the power is probably the same as my sony head unit or is it a lot worse? I was considering getting infinity kappa 3.5s but Didnt wanna blow em again, so I was gonna hook up the junky amp lol. Its only like 25 bucks, probably 35 cause im gonna have to get a distro block. Gimme opinions.

Are you just trying to save money so your going with the pyramid or Pyle amp, or just becuase you want really low watts? If i were you i would run maybe a higher end amp with low watts, that way you cant go wrong. Just an oppinion.

IF you decide to go with a low end amp..go for Profile or Lanzar. Both are cheap and to my knowledge have fairly decent build quality. Not top notch..but not horrible.

Look into a Lanzar "VIBE" amp.

Not VIBRANT or anything else, just VIBE. Its black!

3.5's blown? hehe such a small speaker...

Yep, decent amp. Profile's California series amps also seem to be a solid "cheap" build I suppose. I've never actually heard of many of those amps failing..which is why I would reccomend it under an extreme budget like yours. For Cheap decent speakers..Blaupunkt's arent too bad. I'm running a pair of Blau Coaxials for now. They do alright runnin off the head.
