    How many speaker's do you need and will it be for a PA system or just music? Will the speakers be outside all the time? Also, how long of a run from the amp to the speakers and what gauge wire are you using?

    It sounds like your amps have been under powered and probably clipping, damaging both the amp and speakers.

    You will need a sturdy high current amp and 10guage speaker wire if the distance to the speakers is more than 20feet. You will also need speakers that have a high wattage ratiing and good sensitivity to play loud.

    Here's a power amp that will last but you will need a preamp along with it-

    With a $500 budget for amp and receiver, here's a receiver that will work if not abused. Its high current and decent power for 2 speakers.
