[QUOTE="Shojahan, post: 7840096, member: 640980"] Dudiferus, That is definitely not a 5600w amplifier. Look at the fuse rating: 2 x 20A? Be happy if it's supplying around 55w per channel, though that's still enough to run many entry level 6.5 speakers. It won't run it for long however, Chinese built models such as Powervox tend to short themselves out at the first opportunity and six months equates to having lived a good life for such an amp. An intermittent signal such as yours usually indicates leaking capacitors, so assuming you still don't want to pay more than $60-$70 for your next amp, I suggest going to the pawn shop and picking up a used amp that is branded with a CEA rating. I'm not sure if such certifications are given in Australia but here are US examples: Alpine Blaupunkt Clarion Eclipse Infinity JBL JL Audio Kenwood Kicker MTX Pioneer Rockford Fosgate Sony I would keep the gold terminals from the Powervox in case your next amp is not gold. Online you can order brand new budget price speakers for Alpine as well as Sony to match a HQ amp. You've been informed my negro. [/QUOTE]
