I picked up a pair of Rogers DB101 from Value Village last week for $20. Great score, right? lol
 
Anyway, I'm a fan of repurposing things, so I thought I'd make a little desktop stereo for my computer. I have a crate of a few old car stereos, so I hooked one up to a 12V 1A power supply I had, and got it up and running. It sounded pretty decent actually!
 
However, I didn't care much for the deck because of it's lack of AUX in, so I hooked up another one in it's place. Unfortunately, this one seems to be fairly underpowered compared to the other one.
 
I was wondering what are my options for connecting a small preamp to the mix so add some more oomph to the speaker output. Are there any cheap options available? Like, really cheap... even DIY.

Well this forum sure has become rather unhelpful. I remember a time when I'd get plenty of posts with helpful suggestions.
 
Guess I'll stick to my own sleuthing with Google and find something myself.
 
I might just order a Line5 A460 amp and use that instead. It's only $43 shipped, and will probably do fine for my needs.
