[QUOTE="KK07, post: 1650865, member: 553208"] Hi there, I currently have an older Denon DCA-3180 2 channel amp laying around. It took a while but I finally found out it does 40 watts rms x 2 at 4 ohm so I'm going to amp my temporary Pioneer 5.25" speakers. I'm still not sure if the amp works or not but the internal board looks fine so I thought I'd give it a try. Does anyone know anything about this amp? I'm just wondering if its even worth putting it in because I'm not sure if 40 watts rms is going to be that big of a difference in volume?
