And have been looking at fleabay for one. So far, i have shortlisted:

JBL CS60.2

Plus points are that it is small (i could easily put it under the seat for the time being), and is only £35 delivered. it is also brand new.
However, it is slightly down on power at 60WRMS pers channel @ 4ohm.

JBL 75.2

It is more powerful, 97WRMS per channel @ 4ohm, but it is used and has slight cosmetic damage. it is £35 OBO + £12 delivery.

I already have a JBL GTO2060 powering an Infinity Reference 1200B sub, and i bought some cheapish infinity coaxial's for the front due to a ****ed standard speaker a while ago, and i am just fed up with them being so underpowered and overwhelmed by only 300WRMS set at about 1/3 gain max. Im wanting some components (looking at ~£100, i have my eyes on some Rainbow ones), but those will wait.

This amp is more of a stopgap to be honest.

I am going to continue scouring the bay, but what are peoples thoughts on the two above, and any other 2 channel amplifiers for no more than £40 delivered? Another option would be a mono amp and using my 2060 for the fronts, but generally monoamps are more expensive.

Ive been looking at those, i could afford one if i sold the 2060, but tbh i dont want the hassle of selling the 2060 to fund a decent 4 channel :lol:

Right from my tests on the JBL 75.4 it isnt that great it uses a hell of alot of electricity and current to power it and is very inefficient with the power it uses hense why mine was cutting out. so be weary if you have average wiring it doesnt want to work. it also gets very hot.


id sell you mien if i knew where it was/still works.
