  actually, to set up ur ICE (in car entertainment) properly, it is not just an amp. but if u r gg for basic, then look for a HU (head unit) with built in pre-amp. brands like Alpine & Sony will have it, Blaupunkt & Panasonic most unlikely.
  
  a 2nd hand unit may cost no more then $200, which is just abt the same as installing a 2nd hand amp but tat amp will not complete ur system. not even entry level. cos u will need component speakers n tweeter n crossover filter as well. and these will set u back by another $300.
  
  think carefully.

  Last time quoted from Autotrend to be about 80-100 for amps. Cost of cables included.
