What a speaker needs (3)

I believe the answer is:

amp

(Other definitions for amp that I've seen before include "Device to up the sound of an electric guitar (abbr)" , "Device making sound louder" , "It helps you hear" , "Current measure" , "sound is increased by this" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
