Most people believe that marine speakers are worth the investment because they are designed to withstand the elements. Marine speakers are also typically more powerful than regular speakers, which is ideal for people who enjoy listening to music while on the water.
If you're caught in a rainstorm, don't worry – your marine amplifier can handle getting wet. However, it's best to avoid getting it soaked if you can help it. Salt water is especially corrosive, so if your amplifier does get wet, be sure to rinse it off with fresh water as soon as possible.
If you're caught in a rainstorm while out on your boat, don't worry – your marine amplifier can handle a little moisture. In fact, most marine amps are designed to withstand exposure to the elements. However, it's important to make sure that your amp is properly sealed and that you take measures to protect it from extended exposure to water.
Yes, marine stereos can get wet without being damaged. Marine stereos are designed to withstand the harsh environment of the sea. They are made of durable materials that can withstand salt water and sun exposure.

Like the other reviewers, I was a little dubious about this off-brand, but after being pleasantly pleased and considering Amazon's return policy, I'm glad I took the opportunity.I previously fitted a 1000W amp to a 1 10" xplode (not the best sub, but it was free). It was merely adequate, and the amp required replacement. I soon replaced the amp with the 2KW Planet Audio amp, and wow, what a difference. Just so you know, my prior sub had 2 gauge 12v and ground wires connected.It took me about 30 minutes to install and configure everything. I even ran the controller up under the front dash for simple sub control. The routing in my 2005 Ford F150 is extremely simple.The amp's configuration was simple! Everything was clearly labeled, and changing the dials while I changed the music just required a small screwdriver. It was simple to adjust.Regarding the remote, I essentially just turned the amplifier up while letting the Pioneer head unit and remote handle it (since the amp was tucked behind the seat). Simple controls allow me to swiftly transition from no bass to a lot of bass.The sound is incredible; I've never heard this poor a subwoofer 1) sound this good (without crackles or strange resonance), or 2) get this loud. I practically pushed the amps to their maximum and it still sounded fantastic.Overall, this was a fantastic purchase! I strongly advise anyone searching for a less expensive sub/2 speaker amp to purchase this! Feel free to enquire about installation at any time!

I've grown to love Pyle products over the past few months. I am really happy with this amp, just like I am with the other goods I've bought.It worked flawlessly when we connected it to the speakers that came with our JVC stereo. Setting up the amp is simple unless you're connecting a highly intricate system. It didn't take long to connect a device after attaching the speaker wires to the amplifier (which took some time due to the wiring we have and is unrelated to the amp itself). There are numerous ways to connect to the amplifier, which is definitely a positive in my book. The amp works wonderfully when connected through Bluetooth to an Echo, which is how we often use it. It appears to be solidly constructed and weighs a respectable amount.The amp is reasonably compact and can be placed on top of any object you like or installed almost anywhere. The majority of it is black, with black dials, the "Pyle" emblem in blue, white numbers and lines around the three dials (volume, treble, and bass), as well as a few other brief words or statements. On the amp's front, above the LCD screen, are USB and SD slots. It doesn't obstruct the view and may be placed anywhere without drawing attention to itself or detracting from the décor. It looks completely at home in my living area and blends in nicely. The LCD display isn't overly bright. While not being extremely bright to the point of being annoying at night or in the dark, it is bright enough to easily see what is on the screen.The audio is fantastic. Even though I'm not an expert in this field of technology, I know enough to declare that this 2-channel amp is quite good. Without the amp, our speakers don't provide the best sound in the world because they aren't "top of the line," but with the amp, it is impossible to tell that the speakers are on the relatively low end of the price and quality spectrum. Are the speakers bad by themselves? No, however this amplifier helps them a lot. The audio is loud, clear, and crisp.The amplifier has a remote control that you can use to turn it on and off, change the input mode, mute, pause, fast-forward, skip forward, skip backward, pause/play, scan (there are other functions on this button), randomize/repeat songs/tracks (at least I think that button does one of these functions), access the equalizer, and enter numbers. In all honesty, I operate the amp's controls on the remote a lot more frequently than I do on the amp itself.I'll update my review if/when I utilize the amp with more speakers or devices.Just a reminder: You'll need to supply your own cords or buy them separately as they are not included.

I have three of these.One is for the Tivo, allowing me to watch TV in the family room and in the kitchen, and the other is for a DVD, allowing for the same viewing in both locations.One slightly different was used by 1. I'm only using the audio section to distribute the audio output from a Sirius Starmate (using a 3.5mm to RCA cable) into the distribution amplifier, and then there are 3 outputs: one in the FR next to the Sirius Starmate for the sound system (FR and mono block amps in the basement for the first floor sound system), one to the MBR, and one to the office.As a result, the office now has a stereo input instead of using the FM receiver portion, and the MBR can play Sirius radio without having to turn on the FR sound system (the previous installation had the output of the last mono block amp pair to an A/V to Cat5 balun to the MBR only).Through the usage of A/V via Cat5 and distributed AMP, you could apply the same idea to have a CD or MP3 player in various rooms.I have two sets of pricey A/V over Cat5 baluns (StarTech.com COMPUTPEXTA Composite Video Extender over Cat 5 with Audio) and an old pair of expensive Audio only over Cat5 ($10.00 for the pair).Both have excellent audio performance, and reports of the video (which enables multi-room A/V without running coax cable) are positive as well.I used 10-32 screws, nuts, and a 3/8" nut as a standoff to attach mine to the back of the Bello AV stand. I wanted air circulation all around the unit because I had never used them before. This is just my standard belt and suspender installation; it's not a requirement from the manufacturer. I am unable to comment on whether it was necessary or if it is any better, but that is how it is implemented.

There will be two parts to this review. I haven't installed it yet, to start with. But I've already used this amplifier. We destroyed it after a friend bought it at a Black Friday sale. In addition to placing it in two different cars (a Mustang and a Cavalier) to test both channels and bridged, we connected it to computer power supplies and had it drive a 15" and a 12" sub for hours on end (in two different configurations: one with each sub on a separate channel and another with the 15" bridged). It was connected to two 12" Cadence Z Series speakers in the Mustang that were wired to 4 ohms and only played through one channel. It was connected to a single Pyle 15" blue wave sub in the cavalier (also 4 ohm). This amplifier has withstood use on 3-5 hour road journeys in temperatures ranging from -20 degrees in northern New York to 85-90 degrees across the remainder of the state. for around eight months.It's not a 1000W amp, as has been stated in other reviews, apparently. You shouldn't be dealing with car audio if you truly believed that was what you were getting for $40. This is a terrific cheap amp, but, if you are wise and buy the product with that in mind. And that's what it is for me. I only needed a temporary amp so that I could save money and eventually acquire a nicer amp. I was aware of the amp's true volume because I had previously used it. The 800 W Sony X plod amp that my friend has connected to MTX jackhammers is significantly louder than this amp. But this amp is capable of competing. Not a competition amplifier, this. You won't experience earth-shattering bass with this. However, if you tune it well and connect it to good subwoofer, you'll have a respectable audio setup.You'll probably want something else if you want a sound system that can be heard three blocks away and will shatter windshields.As a result of our extensive torture testing of the amp, I made the decision to purchase one for myself. When I install my own, I'll post an update.

I had to replace the audio on the boat I recently purchased. I didn't want to invest a lot because I was mostly new to mobile audio. I connected a single 12" subwoofer to this and bridged it, and I frequently had compliments on the sound. The head unit was the only source of power for the four 6.5 inch speakers.I used the amp's own 90 AH battery to power it, and despite making multiple journeys in a row without recharging, the battery never ran out of power. It spent over three years in the engine compartment of a 4.3 mercruiser, the boat was always kept outside (covered), and the amp frequently came off its mount during transport, but I never experienced a single problem with it.Even though my new boat has a professionally fitted 1500 watt kicker amp (which DOES power the 6.5" speakers as well as the 12" sub), I feel the bass to be weak. In the future, I'll definitely add one of these to exclusively power the sub(s).

Look, folks, it's not that bad. Its RMS is undoubtedly low. I only bought it to run some tiny 8-inch subwoofers and give the boat some bounce. They are pushed reasonably well, with no overheating, corrosion from saline air, internal shorts, or manufacturing difficulties. Pyle produces ok—not great—but ok—for-the-price items. The true problem is that boat audio has a catch. 22 Do you want to go out and party or go fishing? A pontoon boat isn't the fastest boat on the market; bay boats, various types of boats, including speed boats and ski boats routinely reach speeds of 40 to 60 mph. My argument is that when wind noise is added, the engine is incredibly noisy. You need power if you want to hear it. When you are buying, keep all of this in mind. Increase the gauge by 1 and use oxygen-free wire. I suggest stinger. On the water, nobody wants electricity problems.

That's certainly unexpected! This amplifier performs admirably for such a little sub amplifier! This amp has more than enough power to move some bass in my 1985 Supra when bridged mono @ 2 ohms into an old Collins 5th order 8" sub (with a brand new Polk sub!). It also manages to keep everything buried for an old-school configuration with no amps visible.Nobody would ever guess there is a sub amp behind the panel where I installed it, even though I didn't anticipate it to be nearly that strong given its size.

This small amp produces respectable power for its size. In a 1997 Jeep, we installed aftermarket speakers and a radio, with a large amp driving a 12" subwoofer in the back. When we had the top off, the speakers would constantly be silent and distorted, especially when the volume was turned up. The head unit's 22 watts RMS were insufficient for the speakers, despite the sub's excellent sound quality. We debated putting a bigger amp, but there just wasn't enough room. I then made the decision to try this little gentleman. So the installation went without a hitch, and I was able to place it somewhat below the passenger airbag on the right side of the radio. I secured it with a single screw before zip-tying it to the bracket holding the airbag sensor. It's securely inserted and won't move about. Overall, the audio is crisp and clear, and there is a discernible volume difference. Overall, it was effective. Although I don't believe it to be a genuine 45Watt per channel, it has made my daughter happy and seems to have wonderfully rounded out her sound system. The power wire is the only issue I have. Our entire wire run to the amplifier is 8 gauge, but the amp's power wire is only 14 gauge. Although there have been few issues overall and she enjoys blasting it, I'm concerned about that.4/26/2018 revision The amplifier has been rock solid so far. no issues at all

I can fit this incredible mini-amp in the palm of my hand. The amp features two sets of speaker output cables, each with a watertight quick-disconnect plug in the middle and labels R or L and the polarity. Its three input lines are black, blue for the remote turn-on signal, and red for constant power (Ground). The blue line instructs the amp to switch on itself when it detects a 12 volt signal. Additionally, it includes two RCA input jacks that may accept either low level (pre-amp) inputs or high level speaker inputs by adjusting the internal push-button. The input polarity can be reversed with a second internal push-button, and there is also an internal gain control slider. The amp can be made waterproof by covering all of these internal components with a plastic cover. There is also a wire for the volume control, which has a 3.5 "There is a female connector at the other end where, if desired, you may attach the 4 foot cable-equipped Volume Control dial that is supplied. A 3.5" male to 3.5" male 3 foot cable, a dual-RCA male to 3.5" female adapter on a 3 foot cable, and a waterproof case for an iPod or mobile phone with a female 3.5" jack on the outside and a male 3.5" jack on the inside are also included "internal jack with a movable blue neck chord. With the exception of the bag, all of the plugs are equipped with waterproof plugs that allow them to be sealed even when nothing is plugged in.My intention was to utilize the amp to power two JBL 3.5 speakers "My automobile has speakers in the dashboard that can produce 25 watts RMS each. I wanted a small separate amp just to power the small speakers up front because previously I had been running those off my factory amp, which shared them on the same channel as my door speakers, and I had recently upgraded that to an aftermarket 4x100 RMS Amp that powers the door and rear JBL speakers. I needed to be able to change the volume to match my other amps because I was currently powering the speakers directly from my head unit. More significantly, though, I didn't want to do this because it would cause my head unit to overheat by putting 30 RMS into each channel.I first linked my iPhone to it and connected it to my test bench using a 13.5V power supply. I've provided two 3.5 "JBL 2-ohm, 25W RMS per speaker, automobile dashboard speakers. The gain was initially adjusted all the way down, then I progressively increased it until it reached its maximum setting, but it wasn't as loud as I had anticipated. When I turned up the volume on my iPhone to its maximum setting after realizing the level was only halfway up, the speakers in my car were playing louder than I had ever heard them. With the exception of a small buzzing noise that I could only notice when the music took a silent break, the sound filled the entire house and sounded quite clean. I used it at maximum power for several hours, and the amplifier barely warmed up. I connected the power supply to my car battery since I thought the buzzing noise was caused by the power supply I was using. As a result, the buzzing stopped. The situation was excellent because there was no engine noise. The next step was to connect it to my head unit's speaker outputs and turn the input toggle switch to "speaker input mode." Sadly, there was absolutely no sound produced in this setting. It was evident that the problem was with the amp's high-level input mode when I tested my RCA-to-speaker wire patch connection by touching the RCA end to one of the speakers. There was sound there.When I bought it, I thought the 400 watt Amp claim was simply marketing speak. It has, I believe, 35 to 40 watts of RMS power per channel, which is adequate for modest speakers but by no means sufficient to drive a sub-woofer. I've read that some users had to increase low level input coming into the amplifier with the Peripheral/PAC LD10 Line Driver Signal Booster in order to get louder output.I also detected two other problems. There should be an LED light by the internal controls that illuminates when the amplifier is turned on, according to the handbook, but I was unable to find one on my amplifier. Additionally, I observed that the volume control's potentiometer (dial) was poorly matched to the device because, with the gain turned all the way up, it was quite sensitive and only responded to the first quarter of a turn before maxing out.I thought about buying a Speaker-Level to Low-Level adapter to get around the speaker input problem, like the SCOSCHE LOC2SL Car Stereo 2-Channel Adjustable Amplifier Add-On Adapter in Black, which also comes with its own remote volume control and would address both problems, but that product should only be required in situations where you don't want to remove your head unit when adding an amplifier, and I really didn't want to have to add an additional component to the system. If the problem persists, I might upgrade to the DS18 CANDY-MICRO2 320W 2x80 Watts RMS 2 Channel Full Range Micro Amplifier for Car, Motorcycle, and ATV, although it does not have an external volume control.Update: I got the advanced replacement device from Amazon two days later, and this one has high-level speaker inputs that are functional. However, I'm not sure if this is due to the built-in Line Out Converter (LOC) in the Pyle or the head unit's internal amplification circuitry. I noticed that when using the high-level inputs when I turn the volume on my car stereo head unit way up, the sound does distort a bit (which does not occur in low-level input mode). I've ordered a pair of RCA Audio Piggyback Cables, 2 RCA Male to 2 RCA Male RCA Female Piggyback, 6 foot because I think the latter is the case. These cables will let me share two channels of input signal from my head unit with both this amp and my larger Rockford/Fosgate amp, which is powering my door speakers.
It is possible to install a marine amplifier in a car, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, marine amplifiers are designed to withstand the elements, so they may be more durable than car amplifiers. Second, marine amplifiers usually have different power requirements than car amplifiers, so it is important to make sure that the marine amplifier is compatible with the car’s electrical system. Finally, marine amplifiers are often designed for use with marine audio systems, so it is important to make sure that the car audio system is compatible with the marine amplifier.
Yes, you can put a car stereo in a boat, but you will need to take some extra precautions to make sure it is properly protected from the elements. First, you will need to waterproof the stereo by sealing it in a plastic bag or enclosure. You will also need to secure the stereo so that it does not vibrate loose and fall into the water. Finally, you will need to run the stereo's power wire through a waterproof junction box to prevent any water from getting into the stereo's wiring.
Yes, you can use regular speaker wire on a boat. The main thing to consider is the type of environment the wire will be subjected to. For example, if the wire will be exposed to salt water, you'll want to make sure it's rated for that type of environment.
No, you do not need a marine amplifier. Your boat's stereo system will likely have an amplifier built in. If you are looking to add more power to your system, however, you may want to consider an aftermarket amplifier.
If you plan on using your marine speakers in salt water, it is best to use a marine amplifier. The marine amplifier is designed to withstand the harsh elements of salt water and will provide the best sound quality for your marine speakers.
How big of an amp do I need for my boat? This is a difficult question to answer without knowing more about your boat and what you plan to use it for. Generally speaking, the bigger the boat, the more power you will need. However, there are many other factors to consider, such as the type of boat, the size of the engine, and the planned use of the boat. If you are planning on using your boat for watersports or other activities that require a lot of power, you will need a larger amp. However, if you are simply
