I needed a compact but powerful amp to power two 8-ohm 25-watt RMS power horn PA speakers mounted in my show car to play sound effects. I first tried the Pyle PFA300 90-Watt amp I already had (running my garage stereo) but it wasn't loud or clear enough, so I decided to try this amp, as it is rated for approximately 35 Watts RMS - slightly more than what the speakers are rated for, but I wouldn't be powering them at max volume.I am very happy with the quality and volume of sound this outputs for its size. I was hoping the level control knob would act like a volume control and go 0-10, but in reality it has a narrow range and can't completely turn it down, but that's not a big issue. I can't speak for its long term reliability, and the "waterproof" aspect of the amp is pretty laughable, but so far I am very happy with this amp's performance.

This amplifier arrived in two days and I installed it along side a Clarion APX480M in my Super Air Nautique SV-211.This amplifier does well for the cost, however in hindsight I will probably upgrade to the higher-wattage version. The sound is clean, the installation was easy, and this seems to do a reasonable job. After peeling back the layers though, I simply cannot see how this amplifier is waterproof in any way form or fashion. For a boat where you are putting this under a seat that wouldn't normally be exposed (directly) to getting splashed or drenched, this is a good choice. If you are going to constantly have this exposed to water, there are other options that are likely better.

I read the reviews here and decided to buy it because it seemed at least some people had a positive experience with this amp. However, the first one I received did not work at all. The power light never illuminated and there was no output, despite all the wiring being fine (I was checking it with a multimeter and voltimeter and I have done plenty of wiring before). I thought "Whatever, I just happened to get a bum one.. lets try again" and returned it and got another. Well, went out to my truck tonight to put it in and double checked all my wiring before plugging it all up. A few seconds after I gave it some power, heard a scary pop/pow from within the unit and quickly cut the power. After that something was rattling around inside so I opened it up and something, a black cylindrical thing had blown up and shredded stuff all over the inside.So I'm done with Pyle, I'll look for something else to fulfill my needs. I hope this was helpful to some of you considering to buy this! My advice is buy at your own risk but don't be upset if it doesn't work.

Bought an old truck that came with a "Sound System" consisting of and old 12" sub, amp and some 5x9s. All of it rusted, blown and needing replacement. Did not feel the need to go big as I like music and my hearing, and I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I paired this tiny inexpensive amp with a low profile box I also found on Amazon(~$70.00). Box has 2x10s and 2x 5" tweeters. I split from rear speaker wires to high input plug. Then from amp to speakers. Amp is at 25% and everything is plenty loud. If you were looking for some competition speakers, or wanted to impress your friends, then this probably isn't for you. If you want some extra sound and don't want to tax your Head Unit this was fine for me.Speaker box I mentioned earlier: XXX Kic 100https://www.amazon.com/New-XXX-Audio-Subwoofer-Tweeters/dp/B003160K4G/ref=sr_1_1?crid=YGFHID9UV8K0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bKFpnzmNueN3k8uV5fxXiUalOub5H0NoNgi5KWjexro._fMrGMfDUtE5Df8zarHZ0Alyb0zHOgkEtmQYDMEhUvo&dib_tag=se&keywords=Xxx+kic100&qid=1708216080&sprefix=xxx+kic100%2Caps%2C253&sr=8-1

Product works ok, adjust as it should, but clarity is not where it needs to be. The better speakers, the better sound. But this unit does not put out the actually true wattage as it stats. "Cheap" good product for the price, and it works. No Bose sound here. But no Bose price either.

I needed to replace an existing amp that had been under the seat of my Jeep Wrangler for a long time. It was a conventional amp and had suffered from exposure much like it would have in a boat. I needed a compact replacement that was water resistant so a marine amp was in order and the price for this unit was excellent. It was a snap to install (using existing wiring and speakers). The sound quality is excellent and there's plenty of power to overcome the road noise inherent in a Wrangler. I couldn't be happier with it.

Did not turn on right out of the box--totally dead--How about a little quality control? We shall see what it's like replacement does...stay tuned

Se acquistato in promozione (19 euro) vale assolutamente la pena.Non è certo indicato per i puristi dell'audio, ma per ascoltare un po' di musica in barca con gli amici basta e avanza.

I installed this amp in my Jeep TJ to use as a replacement for the center console subwoofer. Hooked it up to a 6 1/2" Pyramid speaker WX65X. Puts out twice the boom as factory. It's been running for about six months. Works great.

10 minuten gelaufen und dann 1 kanal ausgefallen. schade, zumal der verstärker eigentlich recht wertig und gut verarbeitet zu sein scheint...
