What is a good amplifier for this radio (if used in the home instead of the car)?

I'm happy to respond and save you a ton of headache. I originally purchased the Pyramid PS21KX 20 amp power supply. It appeared to work just fine until I tried using the programming cable.... It then completely fried my radio... I had to send the radio back to Yaesu and wait 7 weeks for it to return... As far as Pyramid, zero help!!! I found that a quality power supply is a must.... I purchased the Yaesu FP-1030A and haven't looked back since... Do yourself a favor, spend the money and don't wish later you had.

Instead of an amp I would change your current radio to any modern pioneer. It will provide more than enough juice to these speakers. Cheaper than an amp, easier too, and you get the features of a new radio.

Radio Shack is the only place that comes to mind. Take the device with you since they have a way to measure the input port for the right plug. The other way would be to use a standard car to 110 inverter.

Not unless you plan on having a 12 volt 10 amp power supply to run it. This Eq amp was designed for automotive applicatins, not home audio.

There are some simple amps that you can buy for relatively cheap. Lepai makes a perfect solution for you ~$25 bucks. Lepai LP-A68 is what I use.

Well, most car amplifier are power amp which require preamp such as the car deck to control the sources. Not sure why you will want to bypass your deck.

I plugged mine up to the back of my CB and it was loud enough to hear it at a redlight, 2 cars over with windows up. Haven't tried an amplifier to it.

I would invest in an AMP for sure, short money but will get more out of the unit. I purchased the Polk 4 channel and it is worth the short money it cost

any 5.1 or a 2 channel also, when using as whole home system you should use a 2 channel amp.hope this works.

May not have audio RCA plugs correct in the back of radio. Also may need an output from radio to the amp ?

I would suggest a Sony explode amp and run your other speakers off the head unit.

If source does not send good signal like a cellphone you will need a pre-amplifier, this amp is like 30 watts rms per channel also

I use these at home in my couch. With that said an amp that is 50w with a low pass filter will work. It doesn't have to be super high end because you probably won't play any frequencies 500hz tops.

Better to get an amplifier installed, something like - http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Amplifiers/GM+Series/GM-A3602

Any 100 watt amplifier will do but you should use a speaker selector/distribution box.

The antenna is 12volt which is what is typically used in a car or boat. To use this with your home tuner you would need a converter or adapter to power it.
