searching for a cheap amp

Just looking for opinions on some of the off brands out there, Soundstorm for one. I'd like some more power, but my budget is very very tight. A 4channel, no more than 100w/ch & I'm looking to spend no more than than $65.

I'll take it if he doesn't.

Wish I had asked sooner!! I just need extra power for the speakers, the 20W RMS headunit isn't cutting it, I'm afraid I'll damage the speakers with distorsion.

Well, after multiple contact attemps I'm left to assume Macdaddy isn't interested in selling that amp to me after all. Moving on... does anybody have any true objective opinions about barain basement amps? I've actually heard some halfway decent things about soundstorm on some audiophile messageboards, that is to say that no one has had anything actually bad to say other than ,'they're cheap'. So what? For $45 for a 100w x 4ch, can it really be THAT bad? Does anyone here have any real experience with these, or another off brand amp (good or bad)?

haven't received the smoked tails

Macdaddyslomo:

I sent you a PM about this, and you haven't replied. I never received the smoked tails I bought from you. You said you sent them out Priority on Dec. 30th? Did you get a tracking number or delivery confirmation for the shipping? I'm starting to get a little worried.
