I need a new amplifier

So after reading all the reviews I need a new amplifier as the whine in mine is getting annoying. I took the original out today with the hopes of changing the capacitors but I did not feel up to the task. I just need a basic amplifier so I have some sound coming through the speakers. I do not want to install an amp in the trunk or have to run a bunch or new wires. Is there a harness kit that you can buy to work with the current set up and a basic amp you can put in the same spot. I don't need anything fancy just easy. Thanks for the help.

No worries I might end up trying to change the capacitors but I am concerned I might make it worse. I am hoping someone has an easy method to install a new amp versus paying $350 for the Acura amp. I am looking for a used one but a I might just be buying the same problem.

I just bought one from the Black Market for $80. It's eliminated the static noise from the center speaker.

Does anyone know if bad capacitors in the AMP would be the cause of excessive static on AM stations?

I've asked about this problem I'm having before on here but never got a solid answer. The other thought that I had was that my tint is a metallic one that may be screwing up the reception (tint on back window).

It's really annoying to not be able to use AM (I know, who listens to AM?...well, me)

I'm not really having any other audio issues although the FM reception isn't the best either.

Thoughts?

Do you mean black market as in stolen stuff that is being re-sold or is there a website I can go to and order one for $80?
