Best value in basic sound systems

I have used this 400 watt amplifier to power 4 marine speakers on a 21 foot inboard/outboard. Now I can CLEARLY hear my speakers above the engine at full throttle. It was easy to install (do it yourself). The instructions are easy to follow and provide a basic understanding of how speakers/amplifiers work. I recommend using high quality marine/audio cables for best results. I used regular RCA cable that you can buy at any electronics store and I was getting ground feedback/noise. I replaced the

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Minor issues

doses act. I bought this because my trunk was leaking and getting roasted on a 1000 watt amp. It's clearly not the same quality, but I've aged a bit and gotten to the point where I'm happy when it plays music. I cut out all the bass from my speakers and added more to the subwoofer, it actually doesn't sound that bad. I've been building a Halloween float system for our town for the past few years, and I'll be buying a few more of these for a float because I overheated the main unit in the middle

Pros
  • Generates confidence
Cons
  • There are nuances

DO NOT BUY THE PLMRA400 VERSION, IT LOOKS.

I don't like the way Amazon combines reviews of multiple different products into one. This is very misleading when trying to find reviews to rely on to get a good product. I think if you could see the reviews of the amp I received (PLMRA400) you would easily understand that this really isn't a very good amp. At a volume of about 50% or more, severe distortion occurs. I am using this to connect 2 Boss speakers rated at 200w. I figured this amp could be bridged like any other amp they sell. I was

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure

This thing knocks and I can't believe I bought it at this price. My sub squeezes too, but it's from a competition (cough, BOSSScough) and I thought it was pretty decent considering I'm not trying to win competitions or anything, but I think these amp handles are a lot better sound. it's just cool and it was very easy to set up. literally it's 4 screws, 2 connectors that you connect with +/- for each channel, remote terminal and power supply. That's it. You can't find it as long as you can read…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Socket required

Not Terrible in Marine Electronics

Look folks, this thing isn't terrible. The RMS value on it is significantly low. I only bought it to drive some small 8 inch subwoofers to get the boat banging. It pushes them pretty well, no overheating issues, no salt air corrosion issues, no internal shorts or manufacturing issues. Pyle makes decent, not amazing, but worthy products for the price. The real problem is that the audio from the boat is the catch. 22 Do you want to fish or have fun? The pontoon boat is not the fastest on the…

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Big and Bulky
