plate amplifier

A plate amplifier is a compact audio amplifier designed to be mounted directly onto the back plate of a speaker. This clever design saves space and reduces wiring complexity, perfect for DIY speaker enthusiasts or custom installations. Typically, these amps deliver power outputs ranging from 20 to 200 watts RMS, depending on the model, and usually support both passive and active speaker setups. Expect decent sound quality but remember, they might struggle with very high-end audiophile demands. For pricing, new units can range from about $50 to $300 AUD, while used ones might be found cheaper on Tradingpost or CarShowroom.
