Amp

[Dan123196]

Can install an amp to my stock head unit so my speakers are louder?

I already have subs installed and speakers but my subs are louder than the music so i need my speakers louder. I would buy a new head unit but i dont have the funds right now and i already have an amp from my old subs. Thanks for the help

Yes, make sure you get a amplifier with hi-level input terminals and the plug.

I have a rf 3001 that I wanted to power it off of would that work? If it doesn't i have an alpine mrpm2000 that's powering my subs too

Those are all monoblock amps meaning it'll only work for subs, dont even try using it as a mids and highs amp. Just save up and get a quality head unit, sell the rockford and w/e you have to get the headunit dont cheap out on the head unit, its the most important part of your system.

Look used at $200 for a flipout. You won't find a good new one but I can get on new one for $250 that's decent

It doesn't matter if its used as long as it works good

at that price range all you gonna get is boss, pyle, spl, power accoustik if you want new and they are all pure junk.

Go for a double din here's a short list, any of the pioneer, kenwoods or clarion should be decent All Car Stereos Receiver Size: Double DIN at Sonic Electronix

Best I can do is a soundstream but it's new.

Do you have any regular head units you can sell for like 50

A sound stream with the flip out screen? And how much?

Unless the head unit you have now is pure junk you're not going to see much improvement in the amplifier department by buying a new one. Head unit's only produce ~18 watts rms per channel, regardless of how well respected the name is or how inflated the power claims are.

If you're happy with how your head unit works, find a cheap 4 channel amp. That will give you an appreciable gain in speaker volume and it can be used in the future if you do change head units.
