Bought a second for my harley.

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2011

Well I bought one a few months back for my yamaha v star and thought it did a great job at a cheap price so I thought I would try it on my harley while adding some 2 ohm upgraded speakers to my fairing. Well so far I am not at all disappointed, I believe if you ran this amp wide open it will destroy your speakers unless they are 200 watt rms. My speakers are 100 watt rms and I have to dial the amp back a bit. The amp will also get hot if you overdrive it, wide open gain and wide open volume, but it has never failed. For under 50 bucks there is no way you can beat this deal. It really does sound great and will drive four channels equally. It also comes with a 3.5mm stereo jack insert you can mount on your bike in your fairing, and the amp external volume control you can also mount on your fairing. Its not really meant to be a volume control, but a gain control that you should set and leave it be. control your volume on your radio. I just can't say enough good things about this amp for that price. I would buy it again and again. Have two now.

Used for pop up camper

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2012

I purchased this product as an alternative to a full stereo install in my pop up camper. It's hard to tell in the photo, but it actually comes with a headphone (3.5mm) jack that can be hard mounted into a panel and has a screw on nut to attach it from the back. I mounted this and the volume (gain) controls in a wood panel in my pop up camper. Now I can attach a portable dvd player, mp3 player, tv, whatever to it and have the sound I want in the trailer. The size of the amp isn't going to blow away the competition, but for camping it'll be easy to keep the volume low and comfortable so as not to annoy other campers while allowing for some volume when you want it as well. I paired this 4-ch amp with 2 sets of these (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CC1Q4K/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00) and it's plenty loud.

It's small. Needs longer leads.

OK, so first impressions:

*It's. Tiny.
*It's neatly wired.
*It has a very solid feel to it.

I was looking for a small amp to drive the component speakers, the requirements were that I didn't want to run big gauge cables and deal with a traditional amp in my car.

This fit into a space *under* the dash. Close enough to the radio that I didn't need to run more speaker wire to tap into the stock wiring. So it allowed me a neat and clean installation.

I have a few complaints, the fuse housing on the power lead. IT'S HUGE. Working in the confined space under the dash was made far more difficult thanks to its placement so close to the amp. The power, antenna, and ground wires are too short. I wanted another 6 inches on them through the entire install. Because they were short it took a lot of work to get the tools into the space after it was mounted to crimp wire butts.

Aside from that it sounds good. Not as bassey as one would hope, but that's not what it was for really. I don't think it's actually 100w RMS, if I were guessing I'd say it's closer to 33w or so. Which is fine. The Kenwood media deck I'm using is gutless at the best of times so this gave it the oomph I was looking for.

Given that its economic and small I'd recommend this for anyone with an underpowered deck pushing anything beyond stock. Though my mazdas stock 25w speakers sounded fine with it too. YMMV.

BANG FOR THE BUCK = OUTSTANDING!

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2015

For the price, I'm really not sure you can beat it. Have it installed in a radio cooler, running 2 - 5 1/4" and 2 - 6"x9" speakers. Crank up the volume and you will be quite surprised. Does it have enough power to blow the speakers? No...and you shouldn't expect that. For what it's designed for, it does the job quite well.

Only issue I have had with it so far is the "gain control knob" pulled off of the shaft it sits on. No big deal, nothing a little superglue couldn't fix. It could have also been my fault as to why it came off...so that's why I am not dropping a star.

Do the math...then buy something else!

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2015

Very disappointed in this amp. First indicator was the 10A fuse...I'm no electrician, but if I remember correctly, amps x volts = watts, so 12-14v x 10a = 120-140w...not anywhere near the stated 400. My suspicions were confirmed after quickly hooking it in to my existing system. My kenny HU is rated to 4x50, and I get significantly higher volume running speakers directly off the HU than by introducing this amp to power the same speakers. Before anyone asks, yes, I adjusted the input and output gains on the amp. I suppose this amp could be worthwhile if being used in conjunction with an mp3 player to eliminate the need for a HU at all, however, because of the blatant lie in the description about it's power rating confirmed by the significantly quieter volume when compared to a reputable internal amp rated at half this amps proclaimed power, I give one star and suggest that the advertising be corrected to reflect the product's actual capability. I will note that, if advertised for what it actually is, this would be a good deal and I did not note an unacceptable level of distortion even at this amp's max power. So, as far as a 35x4 water resistant amp goes, this thing is great! But it's advertised as 100x4, which is nothing but a gross misrepresentation and will lead to significant disappointment by anyone who purchases it.
