KeithHx Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Hi all, I have a Arctic Spas Coyote Hot Tub that I've owned for about 12 years. All is well with it except the sound system packed in recently. The company that installed it seem to have gone bust so I can't contact them for assistance. I've had a look and it appears to be the amp that has packed in (I temporarily replaced it with a hifi amp to check the wiring and it worked fine) - it's an AMC a65s which I can't find anything online about. I've been quoted nearly £400 for a replacement which seems pretty steep. I was wondering if there is any reason I can't use a cheaper, newer power amp instead? It all connects to a Gecko in.xm2 controller for power etc so presumably I would need to change the plug on the new amp - it uses Gecko [in.link](https://in.link) plugs so could I just swap with the power cable on the old one? I'm just looking for advice on whether there is anything else I need to consider here - or can any amp be used? Thanks Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cusser Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 How about a boom box with remote control, or one powered by batteries??? We use our indoor stereo but have two speakers mounted on the patio, activated by a switch. True: we cannot change stations or adjust volume while in the spa. We also have a remote-controlled TV hanging from the patio ceiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHx Posted July 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Thanks Cusser, We are temporarily using a bluetooth boom box but ideally I want to use the built-in speakers and have a more integrated system set up again. Just not sure if any old amp would do or whether I need something specifically made for Hot Tubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSpaTech Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Any amp should work as long as it is wired correctly and has a similar in/output. Just keep it up off the floor so it won't get wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHx Posted July 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Thanks guys - just need to figure out how to wire the Gecko plugs to the amp now?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
