I have this amp pushing my 6X9's in the back and my 6 1/2" up front and they sound amazing with no problem whatsoever! I have a 1600 watt Pyle 2-channel pushing my sub. I personally think these are excellent amp's for the money! I dont push it real hard like some people might do but I have no concerns if I should ever decide to.
Pyle makes quality amp's with a budget in mind!! -----Give Pyle a try!!-----

2.0 out of 5 stars Pyle blatantly lies about wattage., April 16, 2010

So its a well known fact that most amp makers "fib" about the amount of wattage that is produced by their products. In this, Pyle is no different. This 4 channel amplifier supposedly has 400 watts per channel peak. After reading their own manuals technical specs, I had to put on some waders, because the BS was getting very thick. Their RMS for 4 channels at 4 Ohms is 35w per channel, and 55w per channel at 2 Ohms. I'm willing to bet, that at this amps peak performance, that it would fall well short of 1600 watts. You truly do get what you pay for.

bought this amp to see what pyle was about. At first it sounded good but after 5 minutes it shut off. I cut the power off and it worked for another 5 min. Amazon sent me a replacement but this one was defective in a different way. One channel sounded great but another barely pushed any sound out. Amazon sent me UPS labels I shipped them both back and got a full refund(thanks Amazon).
