Pyle PLA2378 2000W 2 Channel Bridgeable Mosfet Amplifier

great item does the job

Clarion 10 inch sounds amazing with this amp

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.

It arrived way before expected delivery date! I hooked it up & was amazed by the thump I got from my 10's. this is not a competition amp or anything but excellent for just adding some subs to get some bass. I had a diginet 1400 watt amp & it never sounded right so I figured I'd give it a shot. I already bought 2 cheap Pyle 600 watt 10's & made custom speaker boxes so I could still fit my T-tops in back too. The boxes are on the small side of just over 1 sq. foot volume and the other was just under 1 sq. foot. When I hooked this amp in the place of the diginet I had to turn down all my outputs on the deck & only have the gain turned up almost half way to shake everything around! That cheap piece of cr*p I had wasn't 1/10th of this amp. If you're looking for a cheap amp with pretty good power get it. I've had better but for the price you definitely can't go wrong.

Used on plye 15 inch subwoofer handled power awesomely and no overheating nor cilpping would really recommend for budget build

Have one in the truck running 2 10” Pyle power shallows and one in the jeep running 2 kicker comp r 12”s. Have had past overheating issues when wired down to 1 ohm(it’s only rated down to 2) had the one in the truck for a few years without issues, the connectors can be a pain sometimes and slowly loosen overtime but that it my fault for mounting the amp to a box with 2 12s. Still both starter builds but for beginners this amp is a great option. Update: My ground terminal is starting to show wear and bending slightly after about 9 months of use. It’s holding a strong connection still but I am getting worried about it as the terminal SHOULD NOT BEND up from staying connected siting in my trunk, the amps power and everything is still working like normal but this wear is enough to have me worried long term.
