yeah, i no a store where this technician he takes in amplifiers and fixes, and hes really good, and he just sells them second hand.

You know this guy who fixes and sells amplifiers, but you didn't know what one was?

THey look pretty cheap. You can use an amp that came off a home theater system or old skool raido setup.

What looks cheap?

Just find an old RECEIVER that has RCA inputs (to connect computer/cd player to). If you get one that is more than 60 watts, then you have to be careful. I would suggest finding one with 100watts. Just dont crank it all the way or bye bye speakers. Also, make sure the impedence (ohms) are matched. some older receivers have 2 or 4ohms resistance while newer ones have 4, 6 or 8. Check the speakers ohms and match that with the amp/receiver.

most home audio recievers are 8ohm tho i havent really heard of any that are 2 or 4 ohm some are 6 but are rare
