You will need an 8 transistor amp to use with that radio. Not going to be cheap. And better have a good antenna and charging system or power supply. If you can turn the power back to under 100 watts a 4 transistor amp could work but would not make a difference on the receiving end. That radio does about 150-200 watts I believe. An 8 pill xforce mobile amp bare bones is 700+ dollars new. Not sure what you mean by a fortune, but an 8 transistor amp is what will be needed for that radio IMO.

From the amount of power that radio transmits you would need to spend atleast a grand for the amp plus electrical upgrades to see as much as a 2 s-unit increase on the non antenna part.
Tell us about the antenna.

Yep. This is why I quit buying big radios...Your really limited to what you can run with one unless you have some deep pockets, and willing to do some electrical up-grades to the vehicle...drdx wrote:From the amount of power that radio transmits you would need to spend at least a grand for the amp plus electrical upgrades to see as much as a 2 s-unit increase on the non antenna part.

Something like a 8-pill "Is Not" just a plug-n-play Amp...Your going to need to up-grade your alternator, or add some battery's, or both...


Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

They all gave good advice. The simple rule is a dollar a watt and multiply it by 2 to get the vehicle to where it can use it.
