Ok the scenario is this, Ive just gotten some rock speakers for my garden and I need an amp to power them.  I cant afford one this month due to holiday and also dont really have space for the amp in my tiny little house Ive moved into. 
 
I have a spare car amp kicking about which would be ideal to power the garden speakers and would be screwed onto the inside of a kitchen cabinet. 
 
Obviously there is the signal wire to get around but thats just a voltage signal isnt it? 
 
So will it work or would I be best off waiting to get a hifi amp?  I wont be having them turned up loud at all so dont need anything powerfull.
