Pyle Power Home HiFi Stereo Amplifier - 90 Watt Portable Dual Channel Surround Sound Audio Receiver w/ 12V Adapter - For Subwoofer Speaker, MP3, iPad, iPhone, Car, Marine Boat, PA System - PFA300

Super-quality stereo amp for a reasonable price and I found an extra bonus! (Tell you later in the review.) I am really impressed with the sound quality for the price. The controls are basic but are useable and fairly precise. I hooked this small, well-made amp to some good-quality bookshelf speakers I had not used for years and got good low, mid and high-end response. I wasn't looking for ultra-audiophile response in a $30 stereo amp but I was very pleased with what it gives me. With an MP3/mini-jack, 1/4 in. mic jack, push-wire speaker inputs and RCA phono, it is adaptable to most any need. I'm not putting this in an auto, but you can do that if you want to. It comes with the power wiring for it (with a fuse holder.) What's the bonus? I plugged my electric piezo-pickup acoustic guitar into the 1/4 in. jack and the sound was really good even cranked up! I haven't tried running my (4) pedals into it yet but the guitar straight into the amp was hiss and noise-free until I had the volume up 'til around 80%, and even then it was acceptable. I think it sounds better and louder than my 15-watt acoustic Fender amp. Kinda wish I found this before the guitar amp! Minus? I can't seem to get it to work with my Android phone. I'll keep trying. Update 8/15/20: I had a bad mp3 cord. Found another and it works great with my phone!

Works great ! We had a newer tv that lost it's speaker function (bad humming and loud static) since it's was just past it's guarantee we thought we were stuck having to buy another tv ..Not so....we bought inexpensive small Pyle bookshelf speakers and this terrific amplifier. We purchased the speakers along with this tiny amplifier which also saved us from having to buy an expensive receiver that might have HDMI connections so we could use any tv sound transmission to speakers. Additionally most newer tv's don't have component in and out hook ups so any receiver you might own must have HDMI or a digital connection and our tv didn't so we thought we were stuck ...But this amplifier has an 3.5 mm input jack we could use from the tv's headphone jack to the amplifier and out to the speakers and Whaala ! We've got great sound and no more loud humming from bad tv speakers etc. We saved a bundle and the sound is even better than ever ...total control over sound and we have two speakers far from the tv giving us greater sound without having to blast the tv from across the room to hear low conversations on the tv ...Good luck hope this info helps others..great product, great price.

This Amp is nothing special, which is exactly why you buy an amp of this type. It takes the signal, amplifies it enough to power a pair of smaller speakers (6 inch or smaller is best in this power range), doesn't have a large amount of distortion or noise, and isn't overpowered. Some would say that's a bad thing since I didn't say there is NO distortion or noise, and its not a powerhouse, but if that is what you are looking for, you are looking at the wrong type of product, and in the wrong price range. For most people, just looking to power a couple of speakers, who aren't going to nitpick everything, and obviously not in the "high end" audiophile market, this amp will probably work for you. Sound Quality - I am VERY picky in this area, and were I using for my main stereo setup, I would not be happy with it, but then again, that is not the type of setup this is for. It does have SOME, a very small amount, of audible noise, and a small amount of distortion at some frequencies/levels, but most people wont hear it, I have a trained ear and hear EVERYTHING. But the sound it puts out IS okay, and will sound good on most small speakers, or bookshelf size speakers. You can turn it all the way up without worrying about destroying your speakers and it does manage to this without distorting as much as many other amps will. If your looking for something to power a set of speakers in your garage, office, back yard, etc. this amp would do it just fine. Obviously its not going to push a set of 18" Black Widows, but it will give your ceiling speakers, bookshelf speakers, or small component speakers sound at comfortable levels from a decent/average source. I haven't tried the mic input to comment on that, but I am also sure it works as well given the fact this is a very basic Amp, and is just designed to work be nothing special, which means it does just that, works.

I've been going back and forth between this little guy and one of the bigger Pyle amps. I just need to get a signal to my built in ceiling speakers that are circa 2009 when my house was built so that means speaker wire connection. However I needed a way to get the music into the Pyle and I looked at a Chromecast but those are $35 and I use Amazon Echoes and Dots throughout my house so I wanted to stay with Amazon but didn't want to buy one more $25 Dot. Luckily I came across the Echo Input on sale for $9.99. Ordered everything and luckily everything showed up on the same day. Set up the Echo Input and connected the speaker wires to the back of the Pyle PFA300, plugged in the 3.5mm jack from the Echo Input to the Pyle and powered it on turned on a song in Amazon Music Unlimited, connected the Echo Input as the device to play music on in the app and nothing...no sound through my speakers. Go to the wall and turn the volume all the way up and I finally here the music but it sounds like the volume is only a quarter of the way up. I start to thinking I should have bought one with more power etc...but before I take it all apart and return it I check the Alexa app on my phone and look at the Echo Input and see there is a volume control slide feature and it's at 10% for some reason. I cranked it up to 100% and the speakers get so loud it is now garbled, but hey it works. I turned the volume in the app down to 85%, my wall volume to 50% and it's perfect. Now I have no idea what kind of in ceiling speakers I have, but the music has nice highs a little bit of bass and it sounds great to me and the patio speakers work and so do the Master bedrooms so I am a happy camper, thank you Pyle for not making me spend $50 to $300 on some needlessly expensive equipment for what I needed.

I have several higher end t-class amps & a high end d-class amp. this amp serves it purpose, too amplify sound. It's not high-ish but it isn't bottom of the barrel garbage either. Sounds slightly different (in a good way in my opinion) than a Lepai TA2020. As for the 45W per channel..Ya ok, if you say so, I will agree to disagree. I wouldn't give it anymore than 25W at it's very BEST with luck on it's side, being knighted by the queen, a wizard, a black magic Voodoo spell & a MUCH better power supply. If you expect to get 90 total watts from a 12V, 2Amp power supply, your shooting up marijuana. However...the sound it amplifies is warm & clean, not muddy, staticy or crackly. Distortion, which starts at about 1/3 way turned up IF an iPod is connected & cranked ALL the way up. Bare in mind you need to take into account the source no matter what it's from. Like ANY amp, You can't expect it to work as you would expect if the sound source is turned all the way up/down or 1/2 way etc...which I would like to add can be a benefit or hindrance. If more people understood that, they wouldn't deal with distortion as much when they crank things up all the way & then complain it sounds crappy. The build is nice. It's light & doesn't feel real cheap. It doesn't feel like a solid chunk of power waiting to happen either. It does feel of a better quality than a Lepai & unlike the Lepai amps I like that this amp has 3 options to connect various source devices in various ways...i.e. mp3 3.5mm jack in front or 1/4" audio plug (microphone jack) or RCA jacks in the rear. I can see this being used for a PA system core as well as amplifying music to speakers or both in tandem like karaoke. I got mine to run a single speaker in stereo; to that end it does a very nice job. The volume dial back light it BRIGHT. could be irritating to some. It came with a 12V: 2amp power supply & a fused wire to hook up to a 12V battery in a vehicle or portable 12v power supply.

First off, I bought this 90 watt to replace my 15 watt LePai that I paid around $20 for. The LepAi was making a buzzing noise in my speakers and started cutting in and out. The GOOD Sound is good, there is a minor buzzing if you turn the audio too loud but its not noticeable when your playing music or other sounds are coming out of the speakers. Feels durable, heavyweight and nice construction The BAD The MP3 jack on the front is TERRIBLY MADE. I have a standard auxiliary cord for my iPhone and it slides right out of the port from the mere weight of the wire. Really poorly made, if your using this as an mp3 player, look elsewhere. This might not be important to some people but there are no mounting holes anywhere on this thing. It has a stand but nothing else. Pointless if your using this for a car or if you want to bolt this too a desk (like I do) so I just used a velcro strip to attach it to the side of my desk. The volume nob is the same size as the other nobs. I have grown accustomed to the perfect setup of the Lepai amplifier and the volume nob is MUCH larger. Same with most other HiFi or mini amps. Its the nob you use the most, so why this would be the same size as the treble and bass nobs is beyond me. The volume nob is in synch with the speakers AND the headphone jack. Most good amps control the speakers only and leave the headphones at a medium level so the media can control the volume (like windows or a home entertainment set or television ) When you turn up the volume for your headphones, your speakers go on...... WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS!? Editing my review as of 2/8/2013 The piece of crap product broke. Whenever I adjust the volume, it crackles and the volume randomly goes high as I am turning the volume. Sometimes the volume gets stuck on a really high decibel and I have to tap the box to calm down. It's basically garbage at this point and I am in the market for a better amp. I will never buy another Pyle again. STAY AWAY.

I bought this amp for a pair of speakers from various Sega arcade machines (Virtua Cop 2, House of the Dead 1 DX), and out of the box, the speakers plugged in just fine after removing the pins from the molex connector using a kit I had. I do eventually plan to add more speaker wire, but I've got the front of the amplifier facing my wall in my desk so the pins of my speakers can plug in nicely and still give me decent stereo sound when playing classics like Daytona USA and Virtua Cop with crystal clear arcade audio in my own house. And best of all? It doesn't take up much space like a real cabinet would! :P Unfortunately when I received mine, the RCA port wasn't functioning well (presumably maybe a cold or bad solder in the board?). The Bass and Treble knobs also appeared to not change the sound at all. If you are using a Windows PC, I highly recommend downloading EqualizerAPO; especially if you have a good sound card (I use an external USB Creative Sound Blaster Play 3), as it really amplifies the loudness of what these speakers pumped out in an arcade, grabbing customer's attention. The amp does produce hissing on Windows but there should be workarounds to it as mentioned in others' reviews. I'm not wholly bothered by the hissing, though. The other cool feature is if the speakers are turned up too high, the amp will just cut the speakers off without damaging them. All-in-all, I'm happy with the $25 I dropped into this amp. It seems to be getting the job done and works well with even speakers used on your favorite arcade games. I reckon they would be amazing for a MAME cabinet, too. I will edit the review if something bad happens with the amp.

Great little amp for the price, lots of power. Originally used it to power computer speakers, attached a Bluetooth dongle to stream over. In thinking about the mic input though I realized I could use it to power an ad-hoc guitar amp. I input from an effects pedal and/or behringer tube monster to the mic input, and output to a 60 watt celestion rocket speaker driver, means I bridged the amp to mono output and it has not fried yet. The result of the "guitar amp" was shockingly loud with that setup (piss the neighbors off loud), but works OK too for home practice outputting from the stereo RCA sockets. The case is removable easily and the RCA turns out to be a removable molex connected separate unit which means you can easily drop in a different connection if you want (1/4 inch plug in my.case) or use the RCA plugs in a different project The on off.switch is wired to two long red and.black wires too, which means with minimal Soldering you can replace the switch if you want, and both.LEDs have ample leads if you want to switch them to a different color, also with minimal Soldering needed. In other words, for very little money, you can build this into any project box or case you might like and use it.for lots of different purposes given how many watts it can handle. only drawback I see is no headphone outout built in. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Cumple bien su función sin más pretención. Las uso para mejorar el sonido de la TV y dependiendo de las bocinas pueden sonar bastante bien. Llegaron muy rápido y perfectamente empacados (compré dos en un salto de fé) sí lo recomiendo.

IT IS FINE AND SIMPLE TO USE. IT FULLY SATISFIES ME REQUIREMENT AND EXPECTATIONS. SO I RATE IT 5 STARS

This PFA300 is intended for my bedroom to replace my $180 Onq Broken amplifier. I didn't want to buy one of those expensive OnQ mini amplifiers. I decided that I needed a very small amplifier to hide under a designer furniture shelf so it can replace my OnQ junk. My 1st PFA300 was not working at all out of the box, I have tested input and output by inverting cables but left side did not work at all. After extensively searching I decided to give a second try to this PFA300. So amazon exchanged my broken unit very quickly within 48h with express shipping. I am not disappointed at all with the new PFA300. I have 8 inches OnQ inwall speakers in the ceiling. They never made a so good sound ! I used the movie Drive to test this PFA300, ALL frequencies are properly transmitted to the speakers. I can clear hear voices and deep bass. Drive is the toughest movie to calibrate on a amplifier. This PFA300 does the job perfectly on the Drive movie. Regarding power I don't have a single doubt that this amplifier is at least 2x45W. I can shake the entire house when running full power. Bass and tremble adjustment buttons are working also perfectly. Especially the bass boost is very very effective, at one point I had to reduce bass because my speaker were getting too much shake. After 1h full power there is no heat on the unit. So I presume I am lucky with my second purchases.

Nice product for the outside. unusable, because only one of the stereo channel is working, swapped input and output, yes its the amplifier issue. treeble and bass adjustment useless too, barely adjust anything. Now going to look for another one.

Cheap quality amp. Sound quality very basic and after only few month of use the speaker connector are falling apart. Its better to buy amp from local store
