Online shop for car audio?

Fear · Post by **Fear** » March 7th, 2008, 18:02

Does anyone know of an on-line shop where I can purchase a simple 2 channel car amplifier?

I'm not interested in brands, or chav-LEDs lighting up my boot, or any other pretentious boy racer crap. I just want a simple amp to screw into the underside of my parcel shelf to drive some sensible looking 6x9s.

Every shop I can find is just overpriced tat. It is car audio after all, it's hardly a fucking hi fidelity experience in a car is it!

I guess I'm after the richer sounds of car audio, anyone?

Quick google says http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk

looks a spot chavvy, but not excessively.

Yeah I've already found them, £60 +p&p for an amp feels excessive to me, perhaps I'm just tight.

I'd say your tight.

Those prices look quite good to me, given the compact and vibration proofed nature of an in car amp. I did see a 1500w but that's just unnecessary!

Number plate printing machine.

Easy place to get random common quipment/oils/wax/soap/chamois/sponges.

It's also good for paint, new wipes and a whole host of other products*

I now hand the speaking ball over to the opposition: Berk.

Anything you can get one of is halfords, you can get 100 of for the same price elsewhere

Seriously though, Halfords are good in a squeeze, but I'll only use them when I need to, they're generally very overpriced and while they have most stuff you might need, there's little choice.
