Original FB Amp any good?

I dont have the original deck to connect to the Clarion Amp so I dont know how good it is, it would take some time and rewiring to get it working on a normal head unit because of those Din plugs. Is it any good? how powerful is it?

The orginal Clairon amp found in the FB was only 15 watts by 4.

Most modern high power head units provide considerably more than that, so your best bet is just to rewire past it.

Only on the early RX-7, I forget the years, Like 81-82 (under right seat)... The later years were behind/under the storage compartments. If you had 1 it was on the drivers side, and if you had 2 they were on each side left/right.
