There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I made up a pair of Molex connectors so that I can either insert or bypass the amplifier using the factory harness when not using the wake tower and wake tower speakers (Boss Marine MRWT69W 6x9" 4-way speakers), or when I do not want to consume more battery power while out on the water. I also replaced the original Jensen speakers in the boat with Boss Marine MR60W 6.5" 2-way speakers.
I first tested the 4 speakers without the amp and thought that I would not need the amp because the sound was adequate. However, after testing with the amp, I changed my mind. The sound is very clear and _much louder than with the Jensen 3007 alone. I used the 4 low impedance inputs connected to the speaker outputs of the Jensen to maintain front/rear fader control and adjusted the gain in accordance with the installation instructions.
Also added the Kinivo BT adapter for audio streaming and telephone calls from my Android cell phone.
Finally, will be adding the wired MWR100 remote control for the Jensen unit on the swim platform very soon. Voila... a totally fantastic upgrade for the boat, all ordered through Amazon. I would recommend a professional installation if one is not 100% confident in their technical ability. I can also offer advice if anyone needs it via msouhlas@yahoo.com.

I've had 2 PLMRA400 amps, purchased years ago for both of my bikes and they worked perfectly...up until a couple of weeks ago.
So I purchased this one, connected it and...nothing. No power, no indicator lite, no nothing. Dead. No problem. I simply returned and got another about 3 days later and...same thing. I thought it might be me, so I disconnected the my working amp from bike 2 and connected it to bike one...came on, full power and worked fine. 2 dead amps in less than 9 days...there will not be a third. This is a PYLE of crap. I wish I could give an accurate rating because this would receive 5 full shovels of grass fed, thoroughbred, steaming PYLEs of horse feces (no disrespect intended in comparing horse feces to a PYLE PLMRA400 Watt amp! Never again Pyle...never again

Sound is excellent for my application running 4 speakers in a wake board tower on my boat. Love the white as it does not heat up in the sun and the layout of the unit is proper. If you need a good basic setup and were debating trying out Pyle give it a shot. Its good solid product.
Das neu bestellte Gerät hatte nach kurzer Zeit den selben Defekt! Schaltet über Remoteleitung NICHT mehr ab. Es bleibt ebenfalls ständig eingeschalten und saugt die Batterie leer.
Ich habe den Verstärker im Dez. 2019 bestellt und im Frühling 2020 zu Beginn der Motorradsaison hinter einer Motorrad-Fairing verbaut. Was mir schon bei Erhalt des Verstärkers auffiel war, dass zwei Schrauben der Abdeckplatte locker, bzw. deren Gewinde durchgedreht waren. Ich musste diese Schrauben durch größere ersetzen, da die Abdeckplatte dadurch locker war und schepperte. Was ich auch komisch fand war, dass eine der lockeren Schrauben ein Blechtreibegewinde und eine ein Feingewinde hatte. Ebenfalls waren die Halterungen der Kabelanschlüsse gebrochen. Ich denke die Schrauben dieser Halterungen wurden zu fest eingedreht und dadurch die Hülsen gesprengt. Im großen und ganzen eine sehr schlampige Verarbeitung, bei zumindest meinem Gerät. Der Verstärker wurde über die Remoteleitung, am Zündschloss, zum ein und ausschalten angeschlossen. Dies funktionierte auch etwa 4 Wochen tadellos, dann ließ sich der Verstärker nicht mehr über die Remoteleitung abschalten. Er blieb permanent an, auch nach abklemmen der Remoteleitung. Erst nach entfernen der Sicherung an der Hauptleitung ging er aus.
Nach Reklamationsversuch durch einen sehr netten Amazonmitarbeiter direkt beim Lieferanten, erklärte sich dieser nicht bereit ein Ersatzgerät zu senden, mit der Begründung er hätte sein Lager in GB und es ginge aus diesem Grund nicht. Amazon nahm dann das Gerät anstandslos zurück und erstattete den Kaufpreis.
Da ich jedoch an meinem Motorrad alles so verkabelt habe, dass die Anschlüsse und Kabel genau für den Pyle Verstärker passen, war ich gezwungen den Verstärker erneut zu bestellen und zwar um ein paar Euro teurer, da der Preis zwischenzeitlich gestiegen war. Und siehe da, dieses Gerät wurde in GB aufgegeben, wo vorher genau aus diesem Grund keine Ersatzlieferung möglich war.
Angekommen ist dann ein Gerät das entweder ein Rückläufer, ein gebrauchtes, oder Reparaturgerät war.
Die Verpackung war nicht Original verschlossen, die Siegel mit Tesastreifen zu geklebt und die Plastikhülle aufgerissen (siehe Bilder). Die Halterungen sind bei diesem Gerät ebenfalls gebrochen. Ich habe den Verstärker jetzt trotzdem verbaut, - er funktioniert zur Zeit. Noch einmal auf ein Tauschgerät zu warten war mir dann zu blöd. Jedenfalls würde ich diese Marke anhand der schlampigen Verarbeitung und der Tatsache, dass ich nach Neubestellung kein neues Gerät erhielt, hier nicht wieder kaufen. Mit dem Klang bin ich soweit zufrieden.
Ob der Verstärker wirklich Wasserdicht ist wird sich weisen. Das Gehäuse ist nicht abgedichtet und hat sehr große Spaltmaße. Wasser wird hier ungehindert überall rein laufen.
