Chinese small amp/tuner units

Post by oldmod1968 »

Has any one tried these small Amplifiers with an FM radio and auxillary input? I want to tuck it away in my midget.

Thanks

Could you be a little more specific? Maybe a link?

For £20 give it a go, just get some better speakers probably.

if you are going to dump the speakers, the same seller also sell just the amp ( just under 14 quid)..

Seems to be the same product being sold for 9 quid here. Just a word of caution - it says that it's suitable for speakers with an impedance of 8-16Ω, so you cannot use ordinary car speakers (most of which are 4Ω).

I wonder how well the aerial will work inside a car?
