Could some one post some detailed specs on the amp, so that i can find an after market with the same specs. do u think that might work jhelmuth.
Yes. Given the I/O (in/out) connections are the same, then you might be better off with an aftermarket AMP. Be sure to investigate the real AMP output using 3rd party testing (not reviewers) as a source for that information. If this is an unknown, stick to the very high-end names that you can count on. In the non-car audio world, this would be Crown, Krell, Yamaha (at the lower end), and others. Price is usually an indicator - meaning that if it's inexpensive, then it's not likely all it's marketed as (so use price only as a caution when no better information is available). Personally, I've been using Sony Xplod AMPS in 2 cars (800 W models) to drive 4 speakers where sound levels were not attempted beyond -96 db with very efficent drivers. I wouldn't call the Sony AMPs high quality and would probably not choose them as replacements for my 300C if I were "upgrading" it. Which BTW, I don't have any issues with the stock SGII system as is.

Follow up!!!

Please take a look at Rogue's posts (be patient). He is giving you excellent advice!
