WTB: 2 Channel amp and head unit CHEAP

[KyleScha 10+ year member]

I recently got a 600 dollar ford escort (so I can put my MR2 away for the winter) and I've got some left over speakers that used to be in my MR2 that I figure I might as well put in the escort. I've already got speakers and an alpine amp for them, but I just bought 2 pyramid 6.5inch subwoofers (yes, I know its crap, but better than nothing) and I need an equally cheap amplifier to drive them.

I also need a CD player, again, I dont need anything fancy. I just need something cheap!

Thanks

how many watts per channel do you need?

It really doesnt matter. I'm not trying to put together anything special, just enough to enjoy my music.

Up front I'm going to have Boston SL60's powered by an alpine MRP-T220 (its weak but it has good SQ and its what I got).

The back I just bought http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=005&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=150050620085&rd=1&rd=1 and am looking for an amp to drive them. Hopefully they don't sound *that* bad (i mean as long as its better than the stock speakers...) for the back. The way its set up its sort of in a plastic enclosure, and if I have any extra sound deadener laying around I can probably deaden that enclosure pretty well with 5sq feet or so.

But as far as wattage, anything will do really, even 40x2 RMS is fine.

how cheap of a headunit? price range?

 

[KyleScha 10+ year member]

Pretty much all I need out of the headunit are 3 preouts. I really am not into spending much money into a sound system for a $600 dollar car. Even $100 dollars for the CD player and amp (plus 30 for the rear "subs") is $130 dollars. I'm still not sure where I'm going to mount the amps yet. I may just put them under the front seats although I'd rather put them somewhere else if I can find a place. Plus I'm not exactly looking forward to tearing the car apart for the wiring.
