Pyle 800W 4-Channel Hydra Marine Micro Amplifier - Waterproof - GAIN Level Controls - RCA Stereo Input - 3.5mm Jack - MP3 - Volume Control - Short Protection - For Boat & Vehicle Use - PLMRMP3B

I installed this in my Polaris 2013 ranger 800 it worked fine to start with now it is only picking up one speaker. My question is do you need to hook up 4 speakers to work properly? does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? I really like the amp when working it was great. Can anyone give me any pointers on what I am doing wrong? Thanks, Mark

I can not attest to what kind of sound is produced as it arrived 3 days after I ordered it DOA , I spent 4 hours in 90+ degree temps with high humidity trying to get this until to work and gave up for the day spent from the heat ... spent 2 more hours the next morning before I threw in the towel .... no way to tell if it is powering on ( no indicator lights ) I never got sound so assuming since it was wired correctly it just didnt work ... also determined it was a return because 1)box only taped shut no shrink wrap 2) missing waterproof bag 3) some of the wires did not have wire ties on them .... empty plastic bag inside I suspect was supposed to have part of the wiring harness in it .... all that said no way its 800 watts it only has a 10 amp fuse so it would be 140 watt MAX if it was 100% efficient ( amps x max voltage 14.4 ) so that would mean best case scenario 35 watt rms per channel but again that would be at 100% efficiency ... amps normally are closer to 75-80% efficient ... I would guess this is probably about 20 watts per channel ( if it works ) in my case its ZERO watts per channel

This worked great. Like some of the others have said...I'm not sure if this is truly 800 watts or not but for my purposes it more than did the job. I put this on my 1600 Nomad to work with a Pioneer Headset and 4-150 Watt Boss Marine Speakers mounted in my Reckless Fairing. I mounted the amp with heavy duty velcro to the top of the reciever and it hasn't moved a hair. The boost that this gives my speakers is about all I can hope for on a motorcycle ride. The volume level on my radio goes up to 55 max and while traveling at 75 mph on the highway I only have to use about 35-40 of that volume range. It pushed the vocals and mid range sound to a level that can be easily understood while getting up down the highway. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for an affordable amp to push your speakers to the point where you can actually enjoy your tunes with the wind to your back.

This thing works good and sounds good however it's not 800w output it's actually weaker than the standard 200 coming from the radio itself

First of all, all the other reviewers are right. This is obviously not 100w RMS per channel. It has a 10amp fuse and 12ga power/ground leads, so really it cant be over 150w RMS total. I bought it knowing that so I wasn't disappointed. Really, its probably around 30w-40w RMS per channel. I have it in my jeep wrangler yj, I got this because the internal amp in my headunit burned up from water, and WOW!! I used to have my headunit on max and still only hear every other word (over engine/wind) with the top on, but now I ride with the top off with the radio on 20 out of 35 and I can here it clearly but if i go to 30 it distorts to something awful [I never get that loud anyway]. I have it powering 2 4x6's and 2 6.5's. Make sure you do 2 things though when installing. If you dont plan on using the volume knob with the kit (like me) turn the volume control/""gain" knob up to about 2/3's to 3/4 of the way [NOT ALL THE WAY or it distorts] before you install and make sure you strip the black/red/blue wires more than whats already stripped. I didn't and It wouldnt play so I re-did it and stripped it more and now it plays. Anybody who says this isnt loud enough probably did not turn up the volume control because it goes from the it being a 4 to the volume going to 11 The pros: I can actually hear my tunes going down the road, A lot of sound for a 40$ amp, easy to install, water resistant, very small/compact, plenty of power for me. Plays stereo sound, black color hides well under my seat Cons: NOT 800W (but plenty loud), not bridgeable, nothing else really In short, If you buy this knowing that its power is completely overrated you won't be dissapointed. It may have been the best 40$ i've spent on my Jeep in a while. If you get this for powering say a subwoofer or to bridge the channels, It just wont happen. I havent tried using it to play 2ohms but It is plenty of power for me. Now I just need a subwoofer :D

Working good so far

Great little amp. Was quite surprised with it being Pyle. Never had good success with their products till now. Lots of people wrote reviews about it being under powered. At first I had it hooked up with only two channels with one speaker on each channel. Was not very loud at all. Turned the gain knob up half way and was significantly louder. But was still not loud enough to hear over sound of wind at hwy speeds. As soon as I hooked up 2 more speakers one to each of the other channels it really came to life. Apparently this amp needed a load on all 4 channels because I got double the volumn off the first two speakers when the second two were hooked up. Two 400 watt Pyle hydra speakers in my saddle bags. Both running off channel 1 and 2. And 2 140 watt Rockville speakers up front. Pioneer head unit supplying rca audio to amp and rca audio to a 400 watt powered rockville sub. Very pleased with my bikes stereo.

Well.. I got sucked in by the 100w RMS X 4.. only using 2 tower speakers.. but normally even a true 50W per channel.. like my truck amp has will over power you.. so far I'm not impressed.. the head unit drives another set of wired speakers at the same level as my tower speakers hooked via RCA input to the amp. I expected a lot more punch for the 6" tower speakers.. hmm also when boat is running you get alternator whining noise really bad.. I wired ground and power using 6 gauge directly to the battery and will test again with engine on. Max power ratings are of course not accurate but normally RMS is at a stable level and even if the amp was 50% of advertised 50W per channel clean power full range is very strong but I'm not hearing it from these. Unless there's an RCA output level on my head unit I need to adjust, I have input gain on amp at max and it's still not overly loud. I should've researched more or even purchased the same brand I put in my truck.. Black Ice is the model.. never gets hot and runs 4 speakers and my boxed subwoofer and it is impressive. Well. good luck out there.. the price was too good to be true.

Fantastic

Llego en tiempo y forma

Ok

Allg ood

Muy pobre en la cuestión de sonido, no me levanta casi nada las bocinas, no es potente en realidad, compren algo bueno,
