  • Nice amplifier for a personal sound system. Super efficient. Works with most speakers 4-16 ohm.
I'm using this to replace my desktop speakers with some Klipsch RSX-5 speakers. The speakers are rated for 75 watts so I wasn't entirely sure this would power them sufficiently. It was actually plenty, with good speakers, this can fill a room with a good level of loudness. I was worried about the power draw so I dug up my watt meter and saw it was only using 2.6 watts!!!!!! (now I'm using 1.6 Watts MAX) At this point I was intrigued and I set it up to my two Polk Monitor60 Floorstanders (with 3 6" woofers and a tweeter in each, for a total of 8 speakers, Rated for 150/300 Watts) and it sounded acceptable (drawing like 4 watts), not as good as my $300 receiver, but at 3% the investment and virtually no heat or power use, it is a strong contender. Bass and Treble Boost works but is limited of course. I was going to set this up outside but got distracted and left it sitting on concrete in Florida sun for three hours, it got pretty hot. It still works, but now is makes the speakers make a weird noise when I turn it on (high-pitch low-decibel, not bad, just weird). It wasn't even on, or plugged in... Since it was $10, I don't blame the piece but want to share that experience. Ending statement - Great bargain at $10-12. Though it could power bigger speakers enough to use as a primary system, I wouldn't recommend it, but I will definitely never use a pair of "computer speakers" again, thanks to this. I'll probably buy 2 or 3 more of these for various rooms in my house... I powered my amplifier with a high quality 12v 2a Adapter I got for LED Strip Lighting. ... show more

  • Worth the price for what it does.
Does exactly what the specifications say it can do. Great quality for the price. I put it in a 1994 Jeep cherokee sport. Plugged into my phone, it goes plenty loud enough for me, but it seems to max out at a lower volume than normal. Obviously, not enough power for all 4 speakers to get insanely loud, but that is in the specs, so do your research if you're trying to power larger speakers. The lights are a little abrasive, but it is an easy fix. Just take the front off, and you'll see the only LED. Either cut it out, or just put a little electrical tape on part of it to dim it down. A quick Google for the correct wiring harness diagram, then splicing the correct wires together to make only left and right speaker wires. I also cut an old DC power cord that fit, the plug type, and wired it to the harness power and ground. Those are easy to find at goodwill or other thrift stores. Over all, it gets the job done, and is very much worth the price for what it does. ... 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
