Small Amplifier to replace factory Amp? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hi

I was curious if anyone knows of a modest and small but very high quality amp that can replace and fit in the factory location without sucking a punch of power. 50x2 or maybe 50x4 of clean power would be plenty for what I have in mind.

You want the U (universal) version to use with any headunit, the one I linked only comes with a connector for Alpine HU.

Thanks, that actually looks like a decent option!

I'm running the universal one using the factory amp wiring, sound is much better in my opinion, but the speakers could use a replacement for sure.

^ also a good suggestion. Personally I'd run a 500/3v2 just to have one amp running the doors and a subwoofer all in one package.
