What power amp do I need?
My sister got given some speakers for free and wants me to fit them into her
Ford KA.
The speakers are Pioneer TS-A6911
( * w w w .pioneer.co.uk/uk/products/archive/TS-A6911/index.html)
The headunit is a Goodmans GCE7207I
( * w w w .goodmans.co.uk/productdetails.aspx?pid=GCE7207I&language=en-GB)
I have access to a 200 watt amp for free as well, but I dont think its going
to be powerful enough for it.
Any advice would be most appreciated.
Thanks

200W should be MORE than enough to run those speakers nicely, DEPENDING
on the specific amp. A cheap $40 amp won't actually be producing
anywhere near 200W. If you specified the amp, someone might have a
better idea of whether it will be useful for you.

Unsure of the amp as its coming from one of my sisters mates.
Tried installing without the amp as someone I spoke to said it would work
but not to their full potential.
Got a hiss but nothing else.
Then tested on the output wires for the front speakers and got sound, so I
guess my head unit is not working properly.
Off to buy a new head unit I think.
