    • Exactly what I needed
I'm running it on the sub bass channel running a baby 40watt sub, thing hits amazing. I've got it on left channel only I might buy another one and use it as a pre-amp. I can't say anything about highs but it sure does run lows amazingly. The stereo it's running off of is supposedly 300watt and I had the sub bridged off the rear speaker channel, definitely didn't perform nearly aswell. ... show more

    • Excellent, Versatile Amp
I purchased this due to lower price and excellent reviews. Used this on a '96 van with after market Boss radio purchased here on Amazon. Used Velcro to attach, wired, next to my drivers seat. Original radio did not work, Boss radio was too low. This little amp completely added loud, clear, booming audio. Very EZ to connect and operate. Recommeded. ... show more

    • Great little amp with one annoying feature (that can be easily fixed)
This is a great little amplifier for under $10, and it works very well except for one minor annoyance that's easily fixed. I have a Kindle Fire hooked to some small speakers (through the headphone jack), and I use it to play rain sounds at night when I go to sleep. The problem is that even at full volume the output of the Kindle just isn't loud enough to hear the rain sounds very well. This little amplifier solved that problem- it's got more than enough power to play the sound as loud as I want. It's easy to hook up and works like a charm to boost the sound. THE ANNOYING FEATURE Several people have mentioned in their reviews that the amp contains a very bright LED behind the volume control, and when the amp is on it cycles through various colors. It's so bright that it would light up part of my room and the changing of the colors was also extremely annoying. If you're experiencing this problem (as others have mentioned in their reviews), there's an easy fix that you can do in about 5 minutes: 1) Unplug ALL the wires and connectors from the amp. 2) Pull the volume knob off (it just pulls straight off, no tools required). 3) Behind the volume knob is a clear plastic piece that's attached to the shaft of the volume control with a small flat nut. With a pair of pliers, gently unscrew and remove the nut. 4) Gently pull the clear plastic piece off. Behind it is the LED that is soooo annoying. 5) Take the clear plastic piece and spray paint the back side of it with some paint. Almost any color will do as long as it's not transparent. Give it a couple of good coats of paint and let it dry. 6) After it's dried, put the plastic piece back in, screw the nut back on, and press the volume control back on the shaft. That's it- problem solved. No more annoying light. :) (Alternatively you could follow the steps to #4 and then paint the LED with some nail polish or dark paint.) I hope this fix helps others. Aside from this one minor annoyance, this is a great amplifier for general use and I wholeheartedly recommend it. ... show more

    • Stands shoulder to shoulder with its peers
Nice little amp. I should admit immediately that I am addicted to these small amplifiers. I have many from various manufacturers from all over the world. These amps have a million uses because of their size. An obvious one would be to hook it to a computer and use some nice bookshelf size speakers for your PC sound as opposed to the junk one usually uses for computer audio. But the uses do not stop there by a long shot. Because it comes with "ears," it is ready to mount anywhere. Under a kitchen cupboard, on the back of a headboard for bedroom TV sound, I even have one inside my bathroom vanity for shower tunes. Most people don't understand "watts," because, frankly, manufacturers lie about wattage. They either list only "output watts," a measurement that has to do with electricity, not audio, or have slick terms like "music watts," "real watts," or "listening watts." These mean nothing. "RMS Watts" is the true, scientific measurement of audio wattage. The real RMS watt numbers listed in the description of this item seem low compared to the lies of dishonest sellers. For example, 50 watts RMS in a house or home, at full volume, is LOUD. Too loud to have a conversation over and loud enough to cause hearing damage for prolonged periods. When you see an ad for an amp that has 100 watts of power per channel and is the size of an asprin boittle- it's not 100wx2ch. Sorry... but it just isn't. Refreshingly, this seller has decided to tell you the truth. This is an 8 watt RMS amp- 4 watts per channel. Guess what? In a normal sized room in a house, that's loud. Turn it all the way up and you'll annoy someone else in your house. I also like that the audio quality measurements are included in the description (Min. THD: <0.005%70dB). The seller has made no bones about what this product is and what it is not. I know prices change, but I got mine for under $10 including shipping and that's still a steal for what you'll receive when you buy this amp. The uses are endless. Since it is powered by a 12V 2A power source, it can be fed by battery pretty easily with minimum know how and some internet research. I can see this unit being part of a portable DIY sound system- easily. For instance, wired correctly, an 8AA battery pack could run this amp, probably for 8-10 hours. So basically, anywhere this amp can fit, it can be used. Like I said, I have many like this one. Some are better, some are useless. A good comparison is the Lepai 2020+. That is a very popular amp a tad bigger than this amp with much more power (20 watts RMS per channel). I like that amp, but if I didn't need REAL LOUD, I'd go with this one at half the price, on average. I have another amp I will not name that is very similar to this one in appearance and description. A deceptive description that claimed 15 watts RMS per channel: a lie. This 4 watt per channel amp walks all over that other deceptive amp. I appreciate the quality, the honesty, the speed of delivery and the "get exactly what is described" way this amp is sold and used. I like it a lot. Sure, there are better. Not for $10. Not this size. Not this rugged. Not this adaptable. Not with so many uses. This thing is top of the heap for its size and price, hands down. One last thing. This amp comes without the power supply. This is really upsetting for a lot of people. It's also standard in the audio world. The power supply is your responsibility. It keeps costs down to NOT ship a heavy power supply (probably weighs as much or more than the item itself) across the ocean. And guess what? The needed supply is probably already in your house somewhere. They do send along the proper END to attach to a power supply. When I say power supply, I mean you'll need a "wall wart," one of those black box plugs that is on just about everything small with some power. They all have numbers on the back that look like Greek to the uninitiated. It's simple for this item. You look for the OUTPUT number and you need one that says "12V 2A." Sometimes it will say "12V 2000mA," which is the same. (mA = MILLIAMPS; 2000 MILLIAMPS is equal to 2 AMPS) Look around your basement or attic for old stuff that plus in. I bet you'll find one. This sort of thing is a deal breaker for many people. Many people do not want "extra work" or "parts missing" with anything they buy. To say that parts are missing isn't really accurate. The seller is doing what most amp module sellers do- leaving the power supply up to the buyer. It's industry practice, not just to save costs, but because a buyer can elect to give the amp more power or less power than recommended. I do not recommend either. 12V 2A is perfect for this unit. That covers everything. Now I think I'll put a few more of these in my cart... ... show more

    • Does the job well
Bought this to replace a failed $6.00 board type amp, this was only a few dollars more. You do need to provide your own 12 volt power supply and the inputs are RCA only. I’m using it to power a dual passive communications speaker (Yaesu SP-9000) because my radio (Flex) only has an output for powered speakers, this has more than adequate power for it plus the tone controls are helpful for my application. I like having the power button because the amp shares the power supply for my radio and I can switch it off when using the radio remotely. Only “complaint” if you call it that, are the pulsing, color changing LEDs behind the volume knob which I find cheesy, but that’s probably me. All in all an economical solution for my needs. ... show more
