Here's my setup:

- Pioneer AVIC-D3 deck
- 6.5" Alpine Type-R components up front (SPR-17S)
- Alpine 5.25" Type-R speakers in the rear (SPR-13C)

I am leaning against running a sub, so I want to make sure that my speakers are properly powered. I don't want to spend a lot of money, but I want the speakers to be run to their full potential or close to it for a reasonable price. Not just running off the deck.

To me, a lot of 4 channel amps seem the same or very similar - I'm just looking to max out my setup without going to a sub setup. I'll probably pick something up on eBay or Craigslist in new or lightly used condition. Alpine, JL Audio, etc. preferred.

Suggestions appreciated!

I have a similar setup.

You may want to try a kernalator valve.

Commonly available on ebay and such.

That's what I was going to suggest, it fixed a friend's of mine, but I couldn't remember the name of it. I think he found his at Big Lots. Bob

I'm sorry, that wasn't what he used, he installed a reverberating carbonizer, and it worked! Sorry about the previous erroneus information. Bob
