This review is from: Pyle PLA2200 2-Channel 1,400-Watt Bridgeable Mosfet Amplifier (Electronics)

I really appreciate feedback on Amazon (as well as other places) to help me make my purchasing decisions. I've rarely been steered wrong and I try to help out as well with my honest feedback. Now while it SAYS this amp is rated for 700/1400 watts we all should know that for the price listed that is HIGHLY unlikely. Surely they're basing it on "Peak Output" instead of the much more realistic RMS rating.

I bought this for my wife's truck to go with the 10" Pyle bandpass box. I haven't installed either yet but I did want to let you know the more detailed specification info listed inside the box.

Output power @ 14.4v DC, 1Khz

RMS power @ 4 Ohms - 80w x 2
RMS power @ 2 Ohms - 140w x 2
Max power output - 700w x 2 (I'm assuming that's the math they're using to get the "1400" rating)
RMS bridged power output @ 4 Ohms - 160w x 1

I'll post more once it's installed and (hopefully) thumping!

This review is from: Pyle PLA2200 2-Channel 1,400-Watt Bridgeable Mosfet Amplifier (Electronics)

When my trusty Pioneer amp died on me after nearly 10 years, I was pretty torn. I didn't need bass that hit hard enough to bounce things off of my car, but I also didn't want to go back to stock.

Luckily, I found this on Amazon before wasting my money on some flea market junk.

The amp itself is pretty basic. You have typical crossover options and gain -- nothing special there. I noticed this uses two 10A fuses instead of one 20A fuse. (Then again, the amp I'm replacing is really old, so maybe this isn't as uncommon as I thought)

So, altogether pretty ho-hum, until I got it hooked up. I'm driving two Polk db12's in a bandpass box, and they sound like new speakers with this amp. The range seems to be great, if a little "hollow" compared to the Pioneer. But that aside, it's LOUD and I haven't encountered any overheating problems.

Obviously, this isn't something you'll want to use as a foundation for a competition-grade system, but it's more than enough for a casual enthusiast. (And total overkill for people who don't have to good sense to use foam or Dynamat under their license plates... you know who you are...)

Bought this to push two 12"s. Way more than i needed. install was simple. This would drown 2 15"s easy. A real bang for your buck. Ive read other (unhappy) reviews and can honestly come to the conclusion that they couldn't have hooked their system up correctly otherwise they'd be as satisfied as me.
