looking for a inexpensive amp, Suggestions?

[wiegs]

I am looking for an inexpensive amp to power 4 polk db650 speakers. The primary reason I want to add an amp is so I can control the volume. I have a high end amp and speakers for the tower. I don't want to blast people when the volume is cranked to the tower. I would prefer the amp to be small in size. I don't have much room.

Check eBay. You can get a 200w amp for around $60-$100. That would be more than enough to bump up the 4 speakers without distortion.

i was thinking something like this. I am happy with the speakers off the stereo direct. I think my radio is 17 RMS watts.

I am a big fan of pawn shops for certain things...I got a 75w x 4 mtx thunder something or other for 45$ and it was mabey a year old...I got the alpine head unit in my truck now for like 85$(The rest of my 2200 watt system is cash and carry from a local audio shop)...If you look hard enough you can get a decent quality amp that's cheap enough to not care that its on a boat...

Think I found the amp I am going to do with. Its not marine rated but it will be in a place that never gets wet unless the boat sinks.

thats not much more expensive than marine amps. never underestimate the power of high humidity or corrosion in a marine environment. I suggest a marine amp.

I used one of these : http://www.amazon.com/Clarion-APX29...LO/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1320971171&sr=8-14
