Review on πŸš— Taramps TL-500 2x50W RMS High-Efficiency Mini Car Amplifier, Full Range 2-Channels, Class-D, 2-ohm Stable by Sfl Richardson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Tpa 3118 ftw: Amplifier

I was skeptical until I opened it and was pleasantly surprised by two tpa3118d2 chip amplifiers. I recommend an external fuse if you don't like soldiers every time you blow a fuse like a small 5 amp / 16 ga fuse. For example inline fuse holders. It would be nice to see Oscon capacitors, Coilcraft chokes and the like lol, but a couple of Ti chips selling for $4 each is a pretty big expense for a $36 amp. Good job Taramps for marketing. I'd love to see 4/6 channel options with gain control, DIP switches for switching frequency and of course low ESR capacitors and quality class D audio chokes. You might even win some SQ tournaments with it if you have a good power supply to go with it provide. When running with RCA inputs rather than speaker level, the unit requires a volume of around 30 per 80 prs Pioneer before it will turn on and stay on. since there is no on/off remote control.

Pros
  • Excellent Design
Cons
  • Problems
