Amplifier

Audio/Infotainment

Boosts audio signal strength to power the speakers.

The amplifier takes the low-power audio signal from the radio or head unit and boosts it to a level strong enough to drive the speakers, often as a separate unit on factory premium systems. Overheating, blown fuses, or internal component failure are the most common causes of failure.
