Input Options

The PLMRA400 features low-level RCA inputs for sources that use RCA-type connectors. If your marine receiver lacks RCA output jacks, you can connect speaker output leads to the high-level terminal inputs.

Input Level Control

Adjust the line level input for the least amount of distortion to match your source unit.

Protection

Protect the amp and your vehicle's electrical system from short circuit conditions with built-in fuse protection, along with overload, thermal and short circuit protection. A heavy duty aluminum alloy heatsink helps prevent any thermal issues.

4 or 8 Ohm Speaker Impedance

The PLMRA400 is ready for either 4- or 8-ohm speakers, in pair.

Remote Turn-On/Off

Wire the PLMRA400 to turn on and off in tandem with your receiver/head unit.

1.0 out of 5 stars "Pyle" of junk, September 4, 2008

This review is from: PYLE PLMRA400 400 Watt 4 Channel Waterproof Marine/Car Amplifier (Electronics)

I bought this amp because I wanted to save a little money. Not only is the power overrated, but each channel bleeds over into the other channels. When I hook up just one RCA connector, I can hear the music in all of the speakers.

My (50Wx4 peak) Pioneer head unit alone sounds better than this amp. Don't buy it. I plan to audition a JBL or Rockford Fosgate.

I purchased this amplifier for my boat, I didnt want to spend much money knowing the harsh environmnet it would be operating. What I found once installed was this, for the money I spent this was the perfect amp. Just enough power to kick the Pyle 120W speakers I bought coupled to a clarion DB345MP Deck utilizing low power inputs, front and rear power output is suficient to supply bass and treble to enjoy the music, definately not a kicker, you have to adjust output down to prevent signal cutoff while playing loud music. There is definately crossover noise from front to rear and visaversa when using the fader, the Noise issolation is poor as well between all channels. For the money the amp performs well enough for the boat and its environment. I would purchase the components again if I had the chance for this type of use only. It's only been a few weeks now I can't speak of longevity.

I would not recommend this for your vehicle or if you're a music connosur. Spend the extra money and purchase better equipment.

I bought this amp to go with the pyle six speaker package. Hooked it up on my boat. Listen to it one time and I am changing all of the speakers out of my boat exept for the tower speakers. This amp power is terrible. I am bitting the bullet and putting in JL Audio amps and Speakers. Will never make this mistake again. I would recomend that you spend a little more if you a looking for good sound quality.
