just buy a broken amp from cashies.

or put a wanted ad up on here and allclassifeids and stuff asking for a blown up one

Or consider why you are going to put broken amps into a show car?

The biggest issue I can see with it is finding a bunch of broken amps that are all the same brand. The last show car I noticed with an excessive amount of amplifiers in it had all the same brand amps.

Pretty sure he wants copies, not dead amps... Like a copy of an Alpine amp at 1/4 of the price but it still works.

Check eBay... There used to be quite a few Alpine copies on there. Might be a Ferrari body kit for your Commodore on there too.

you'd be better off buying one second hand, MASSIVE amplifier to use as a feature in the boot, than throwing a similar amount of money at cheap amps.

I can't see the point. I can see how you want the look without the cost, but surely a judge would criticise you on the fact that either the components are not wired up and / or do not work.

You get judged on all sorts of things, along with overall fit and finish, but i don't think you get credit for fake or non working parts.

I think one would score higher if cheaper and actual working components were used. Even it it's stuff like that "Kingwood" and the likes found on Ebay. I think you'd get more credit for the fabrication , layout and appearance, rather than being acknowledged for using brand "x" amplifier.

Just my thoughts anyway.

I know a guy who used to bolt surfboards to his panel van so he looked like a was a surfie.
