Would new amp sound better at low volume?
I have the BA sound system in my car, and I'm wondering if a new amp would improve the sound at low listening volume, or would it only provide improved sound at higher volumes?

A new amp sounds better at any volume. The amp is the glaring weakspot in the BA system.

Thanks. Apparently, the BA amp is pretty weak. I think it's a little thin sounding.
Will a FARK kit and a new 4/5 channel amp power the center speaker in addition to the fronts? |

No, the FARK kit eliminates the center speaker
