Pyle 2.1 Bluetooth Marine Amplifier Receiver - Waterproof 4 Channel Wireless Bridgeable Audio Amp for Stereo Speaker with 400W Power Dual MOSFET Supply, GAIN Level & LED Indicator, Black - PLMRA410BT

Great amplifier for outdoor use! I have mine powering two kicker 6” tower speakers and the sound is amazing. The built in Bluetooth is great and connects so fast!

f you're considering purchasing this Pyle 400W 4-channel amplifier, there are some crucial factors to consider based on recent customer reviews. Many users report that the product does not meet its advertised specifications, with some experiencing significantly lower power output than claimed, which affects sound quality and overall performance. Several customers also mention that the Bluetooth feature often fails within a few weeks or months, rendering the device nearly unusable for wireless streaming.A common complaint is that the amplifier is unreliable, with instances of it malfunctioning, overheating, or even catching fire, especially when installed in environments like boats. The quality control appears inconsistent, and many users have experienced units that stop working prematurely. .This amplifier may not be a reliable choice for those seeking durable, high-performance audio equipment. If you need a dependable device for serious use, it might be better to explore other brands with better reviews for quality and customer service.However, if your needs are casual or temporary, and you're willing to accept the risk of potential failure, this product could serve as a budget-friendly option. But overall, the consensus leans toward caution: likely no for those who prioritize reliability and performance, but maybe for casual, short-term use.

Just what I need 👍🏽

Not of the quality or performance I had hoped for.Output is not what you would expect from the power rating.

Installation was quite simple since I already had 12v power, ground and remote wiring installed for a subwoofer amp that was mounted next to this amp. The amp is relatively small, and that was nice. Plenty of mounting options available to squeeze it into.I chose this 4-channel amp to run the speakers in our boat which are two 6" speakers in the bow, two 6x9's at the helm, two 8" in the cabin and two 6" on the stern at the rear swim deck.Each set of speakers were wired to a different channel on the amp Bow#1, Helm#2, Cabin#3, Stern#4. Once power and grounds were connected, and RCA inputs were installed from the amp to the stereo, the amp powered up and operated fine. Sound was good. With the amp dials on max, sound output is sufficient enough to keep my stereo volume around 1/2 and it is plenty loud for us.I ordered the bluetooth version of this amp, and found that it also works well. If I turn the stereo off, I can connect my iphone via bluetooth directly to the amp, and play music/adjust the volume via my phone, so that works well for any friends/family that might want to jump in the boat and play their own music playlist, without physically having to connect to the stereo or deal with any wiring. So technicially, you dont even need a stereo in the boat. If I didnt already have the sub amp installed, I would have bought a 5 channel version of this, and hooked the sub to the 5th channel. We listen to the radio quite a bit, and dont have great cell service while on the water, so for us, the amp/stereo combo works best.You can mount this amp anywhere in the boat out of sight, and use your phone as your radio. Makes for less wiring, which is always nice. With the bluetooth connection feature and small size, this would also be a great amp for your golf cart or UTV/ATV. For the price, I think it's a win on all levels.

The media could not be loaded. I liked that this amp has Bluetooth. It was an easy install, remote wire, ground, and 12v power. I mounted it with some small screws of my own, be sure to buy your own wiring cause this doesn’t come with any. 400w is plenty for what i use it for. I ran it to two speakers on the side of my console with channel 1 and 2. I believe you can run multiple speakers from a single channel though. Purchasing the pile tower speakers and mounting those next. Enjoy the new audio setup!

This Pyle amp was purchased for installation on my motorcycle. The unit never powered on. The remote terminal is shorted internally. I waited longer than 30 days after purchase to install it, so there is no refund. Buyers, when you get an amp, make sure to test it right away. Many of these amps are dead on arrival.

Product shows that it should produce 400w, but this fact is very inaccurate. I will need to purchase a different amp to achieve my goals.Not satisfied at all. Waste of money
