Oh my, I can't believe you were trying to run on a $50 amp. I suggested that I might buy one of these a long while ago (before I had the empeg) and someone slapped me around for it. It's incredible the difference a good amp makes.

I think that regardless of whether I was going to buy the empeg or not, I would have added an amp to my factory system. It was such poor quality and the head unit did not have enough power to run.

Glad you got it fixed though. Hope to hear it sometime.

And remember, if anyone lives in the DC/Metro area, post here! (I'm guessing that MiloDC lives around here, but last we heard of him, I thought he was a bit unhappy with his purchase)
