5.0 out of 5 stars TIC AMP10 For Dock Use, July 24, 2008

I purchased this product for use on a riverside dock. It is perfect. It is small and is sealed. The membrane buttons are waterproof. The sound quality is good and power is adequate. I connected 4 100 watt outdoor speakers and it drives them well. The unit comes with multiple cables for input. I was at first happy about that until the ipod cable developed a short very quickly. Oh well, I did not expect it to be included anyway. Considering the price, this is a great solution for poolside or dockside.

Let's start by setting the right expectations - you're spending under $100, so you know right off the bat this is not a high-end full featured auditorium quality unit. It has limitations as you would expect - no equalizer so you won't be adjusting the tone quality. No balance control, so you have to achieve balance with speaker placement. You will need to go to the TIC website and search to find anything close to detailed instructions for things like setting the pre-set radio stations.

All that being said, I bought this unit because I wanted decent sounding music on my back patio when entertaining, doing a barbecue, things like that. It's PERFECT!!! I can leave it on top of my outside fridge under the gazebo and it won't be destroyed by moisture. Although you can't fine-tune the response with an equalizer, it's not too shabby - nice and crisp, the bass comes through. Not a ton of volume, but I don't need a ton of volume - I just want some music in the back because I spend so much time on the back patio. It's paired with a set of Hifi Works 'rock' speakers that sound great.

A couple of cautions - some of the other reviews spoke of bad or decaying sound quality. I suspect that this is the result of mis-matched speakers (use 8 ohm speakers), old speakers or bad wiring. Make sure the gauge of your speaker wires is correct for the distance of the wire runs. Other than that, if you are only interested in putting a sound-track to your outside activities, this is a great little unit!

Considering the price of this item it's not a bad deal. My main complaint is that it arrived with no instructions. Other than that the unit is as described. It is not overly powerful so don't attempt to drive more than a small pair of outdoor speakers with it. The tuner works well as do the inputs for outside sources. I did not however try out a microphone. I am using it on my patio and I will be making a small box for it to sit in. Although it is designed for outdoor use the power supply states that it should not be subject to wet conditions. If I had expected more I would have given it 2 stars so I am on the fence with that.
