Power Amplifiers

The Pyle Power Series Amplifiers will provide your audio setup with a powerful new sound. Add performance and quality enhancement to your music when you upgrade your audio system with these rugged and high-efficiency amps. Enjoy tomorrow’s advanced sound technology that outperforms all other amps in its class.

This lineup of Pyle Power amps raises the bar when it comes to true sound quality. Get that sound you’ve been looking for with crisp music reproduction for any mobile audio environment.

Sound Specialization

These high-efficiency amplifiers host impressive power output wattage and are where form and function meet. Enjoy sound and performance enhancing features like Ohm specific stability, Mosfet power supply, PWM (Pulse-Width-Modulation) System, Glass Epoxy PCB, silver RCA inputs, custom terminal blocks for speaker connections, strong frequency response, and input impedance rates along with plenty more features that make the Pyle Power Series Amplifiers stronger than the competition.

Intelligent Design

Safety features include power and protection LED indicator; soft turn-on/off, thermal, overload and speaker-short protection. LED Indicator shows when the amplifier is powered up normally and when your system is experiencing a protection fault.

Pump it Up

Take advantage of the Bass EQ Boost and turn it up. Make adjustments to the Bass EQ settings until you achieve that extra amount of kick you’ve been waiting for.

Strong Sound – Powerful Style

The jet-black design leaves a clean finish on the fortified aluminum heat-sink. The stream-lined and high-tech appearance will definitely add some muscle to your audio.

Total Audio Control

Once you’re connected, customize and adjust your listening experience to your liking with the amplifier’s control center. You can personalize and fine-tune settings like:

• Level (Gain) Control – These are basically volume controls. This will allow you to adjust the incoming signal to the amplifier so that it works well with your headunit or to match the level of other amplifiers in your system.
• Phase - Allows you to change the relative time that the waveform meets your ear. With standard subwoofer installations where the subwoofer is behind you, the phase should generally be at O. When subwoofers or woofers are in the kick panels or door panels, an adjustment is useful in delaying the timing of the wave meeting your ear.
• High-Pass Filter – The High Pass crossover is used for sending midrange and high frequency information to a particular speaker. Activate the High Pass crossover if you intend to drive satellite or coaxial speakers in the system along with subwoofers driven by the amplifier’s channels. Even if your system does not include subwoofers, it may be helpful to activate the High Pass with smaller speakers to protect them from low frequency information to achieve better sound.
• Low-Pass Filter - Filters high frequencies out of the music and improves efficiency and sound quality by allowing only the low frequencies to pass to the subwoofer. Sends only low frequency information to particular speakers. Low Pass crossover activation is usually desired if you intend to power subwoofers.
• Bass EQ - Variable from a range of decibel adjustments, this feature regulates the impact of your bass kick. You’ll have manual control over balancing and correcting the frequency range of a given sound.
• Crossover Switch – Basically acts as a filter and limits selected frequencies going to a subwoofer, which gradually reduce frequency signal strength. Routes output of the Low Pass or the output of the High Pass filters, or ‘Full’ to the power amplifier.

*Please refer to table below for amplifier specific information and adjustment options.

Speaker Output Connections

Connect right and left speaker wire to corresponding speaker output terminals. Be sure to correctly connect the selected speaker wires to their respected speaker terminal, this includes both positive and negative wiring. Improper installation/wiring will result in the speaker cones to move out of phase which can cause bass cancellation.

Input Connections

These amplifiers have inputs for Low Level input connections. The Low Level signal is carried through RCA connection cables.

im running a couple 10" jl w1v2's off of it. first day ive had it, so far so good...sounds great. i give it five stars because i got it for 65 after shipping and handling, great deal. but fyi its not the white amp in the pic above.im working on uploading some pics. also very versitaile (sorry if i butchered the spelling) as far as options go for different systems. comes with mail in one year warrenty.

i also bridged it to run 2000w x1 running a lanzar 15 and it pounds. definately enough bang for your buck.

i would recommend getting one. a very good deal for the money

hope this helps

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Amp for a Cheap Price March 24, 2012

Having suffered a long time without a proper amplifier, (Power Acoustik Crypt Series, 2000W Mono-block outputs fried in 8 months, leaving my two 12 inch Infinity subs cold and neglected) I found this. Initially worried it wouldn't change a thing, I hooked it up quickly (inputs for power, and speakers are at a near 45 degree angle, making it nice to not have to pull the entire amp/box out to re-wire) with better sound quality than the Power Acoustik amp, or any I have had prior.

It has good safety specs (Short circuit, thermal and overload protection), a pretty comprehensive sound control layout (turn dials for HPF, LPF, crossover controls for full range, LPF, and HPF, and gain and bass knobs) and a sleek, small look that is nice just to look at. It also boasts that it is bridgeable, which I don't really need to do but with most amps, bridging either void warranties or it isn't recommended by the manufacturer.

The only minor faults are that the protection/power light are on the rear, making it hard to check unless opening my trunk. Additionally, the turn dials are fit to be turned with a phillips screwdriver, rather than a flathead- which will only make it a little longer (maybe 5 seconds) of a process if you don't remember where you set the dials. Also, using one speaker sounds a hell of a lot better- with two it almost sounds like they are reverse phased.

I see a lot of bad reviews for fire, and overheating. Usually blown fuses are a problem in the wiring that you yourself do. The music I listen to has a wide range of highs and lows, mainly Nine Inch Nails, and scores for films by Marco Beltrami (The score for Scream is a prime example), and it makes them sound like a whole new listening experience.

Other bad reviews claim that the amp is underpowered compared to what it is rated at. Almost every amplifier is, my 2000W monoblock only pushed 860W RMS. Educate yourself, please. Products like Sony, and Pioneer are 'higher end' and do the same thing, with their subwoofers, head units, and amps. If you dont get 1000W(!!!) per speaker, save your money and busy a $500 3000W Rockford Fosgate or something.

I heard a lot of good things about Pyle and now I will also be singing their praises. It's hard enough to find a reliable, cheap 2-ohm amp, let a lone one that is as sleek, safe, and convenient as this one is. Thumbs up.
