I power two Bose 151 outdoor speakers with this. The sound quality is good its adjustable treble and bass help. The power switch isn’t mosfet so there’s a small scratch noise when powering on. The volume is decent but the neighbors probably won’t be calling the police because you’re playing the music too loud. It works good with a Bluetooth dongle or you can plug it into any headphone jack. Good deal for the price.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
