Car Amplifiers

Give your speakers and subs the clean power they need to perform

A car amplifier boosts the signal from your head unit to drive speakers and subwoofers with more power and less distortion. Amps come in different channel counts: mono amps are made for subwoofers, while multi-channel amps can power several speakers or combine speakers and a sub in one unit.

Match the amplifier's power output and impedance to your speakers, and consider how much space you have to mount it. We curate top-rated picks on Amazon so you can compare mono, two-channel, and multi-channel amps and find one that fits your system without overpaying for unused power.

FAQ

How many channels do I need?
A mono amp suits a single subwoofer, a two-channel amp powers a pair of speakers, and four or five-channel amps run full systems. Choose based on what you plan to power.
Should I match amp power to my speakers?
Yes, compare the amp's RMS output to your speakers' RMS rating rather than peak figures. Staying within those limits helps avoid distortion and damage.
Do I need an amp wiring kit?
An amplifier needs a power wire, ground, and signal connections. Many buyers add a wiring kit, sold separately, to handle the install cleanly and safely.
