Amps start at about $59.00 at Radio Shack,  the amp would go AFTER 
the iMic because you need to connect the iMic to the USB port,  You 
would also probably get the adapter from the iMic to RCA plugs.  I 
purchased an inexpensive set of speakers from Radio Shack that had 
the correct plug to go into the iMic. This gives me just OK sound, 
but a lot better that the small speaker that is on the iBook.  The 
speakers are powered by internal batteries.
