Posted June 15, 201114 yr I just installed a Kicker 10"sub enclosure/ZX400.1 amp and 4 Kenwood 6.5 component sets in my 2000 Trans am running them off the stock Monsoon amp. I have an older Pioneer GM-H120 amp sitting around collecting dust. Specs aren't that much at:4 x 30W @ 4 ohms (0.05% THD)4 x 45W @ 2 ohms (0.05% THD)2 x 90W @ 4 ohms bridged (0.05% THD) Would it be worth the trouble to replace the Monsoon with this? Thanks in advance.
June 15, 201114 yr If this was a real amplifier then for sure. Real question though is are you happy with how it is now? If so, then don't bother.
June 20, 201114 yr Author Yeah, it probably wouldn't be worth it for the little gain I'd see. Thanks for the replies
June 22, 201114 yr Author Could be a huge improvement, lol, you never answered my question.My fault It actually sounds pretty good to me for what it is. I took from your post that it's not a very good amp and probably wouldn't be worth it to replace. If I go ahead and replace it does anyone make an adapter to fit the stock amp harness to convert it to rca jacks? I'm trying to keep the wiring intact in case I ever put it back to stock.Thanks
June 22, 201114 yr Id say you can buy my Alpine pdx f4 (100 wrms @ 2-4ohms) and make a worlds difference and call it a day. But dont think you wanna go that far yet

Someone here might know, but if not I would personally ask there if it were me.
June 22, 201114 yr I would definitely do it since you already have the amp. Even though It's low power I would test it and keep whatever sounds better. Edited June 22, 201114 yr by ricksi30
