PyleWaterproof Bluetooth Marine Amplifier Receiver - Weatherproof 2 Channel Wireless Amp for Stereo Speaker with 600 Watt Power, Wired RCA, AUX and MP3 Audio Input Cable - (Black)

Firstly, I should note that the product I received is obviously an updated version. The older version (shown in the picture on the listing) had cables coming out of four separate locations - this one has them all coming out of one spot. This is a good move as it reduces potential access for water. Another change is rather than RCA cables, it has a lead with a 3.5mm headphone socket coming out of the controller (so if you want to hook up something that has RCA cables you'll need to get an adapter). I also read that you could manually adjust that gain via a screw under a sticker on the side - this also appears to have gone. Possibly this may be still be there if you open the case but I didn't need to.So, about the amp itself. My plan was to use it with some speakers in the back garden. I used a 12V, 5A supply (bought separately) to power it. Operationally, it works. You need to connect the control panel up to use it. To turn it on, you press the play button. To pair it via bluetooth, you need to press and hold the play button. Once paired, my phone automatically found the amp as soon as it was turned on. As previously noted, there is only the one spot where a bundle of cables come out of the box so it should be pretty resistant to water ingress, but even so I'd suggest if possible putting it in a location where it is protected from direct sunlight (so the rubber o-ring doesn't perish), and where it won't sit in standing water or be subjected to water splashing that could get past the protection.Performance - well, it works. I hooked it up to a pair of Polk Atrium 6 outdoor speakers. It is not an audiophile HiFi amp. There is background hiss (why I didn't bother looking for a gain control - it would most likely increase the hiss), and it only just provides enough volume to annoy the neighbours. It does not come close to matching what I can get out of a quality amp *but* it is waterproof. I can run low voltage cable from the power supply to the amp in the garden or pool, and control it from out there. If I put my HiFi amp outside I might enjoy better sound for a while, but then water would get into the amp, sparks would escape, house burn down... so I'm happy to accept a few compromises. Overall I'm happy with what I've got for the price I've paid.

tiene muy buena potencia el amplificador pero no te servira si planeas utilizarlo solo como aplificador, ya que necesita de la unidad principal para poder funcionar, desde su reproductor lo enciendes y controlas volumen siempre que lo uses necesitas prenderlo con unidad y ya te reproducira

Se descompuso el controlador del amplificador mismo que encontré el repuesto aquí mismo en Amazon. Lo compre y me llevo la desagradable sorpresa de que las entradas son incompatibles cabe mencionar que puse especial atención en que la descripción del producto incluyera al pie de la letra el modelo de mi amplificador.

Es malo

I hold an Amateur Extra radiotelephone license, the highest available from the FCC. My area of interest is mobile communications and I’m quite experienced with mobile electronics installation.The installation of this stereo amp is straight forward. The unit worked as advertised after installation. Unfortunately, after the vehicle (UTV) was started, the unit no longer operated. The failure was in the remote control. A second amp was purchased with the same result. The first install was to a switched power supply point and the second straight to the battery. A 7.5 amp mini fuse was substituted for the provided 10 amp and neither was blown. Battery and alternator voltages was normal at all times.A comparable amp was purchased from a different company which worked perfectly using the very same power connections.Communications with Pyke customer support was pathetic. They clearly had no interest in working the problem and replied with comments inappropriate to my statements and questions. Mostly they just ignored my questions. Clearly their command of the English language is minimal at best. I finally just gave up with them. This product is defective and Pyle could not care less.
