Professional Audio Bluetooth Power Amplifier - 2-Channel Rack Mount Bridgeable, LED Indicators, Shockproof Binding Posts, Cooling Fans 1000 Watt - Pyle PTA1000

I am quite impressed with this amplifier for the low price it has. I am currently using it to run a speaker system in my room(for movies, music, and video games). One channel is dedicated to powering an 8" 400 watt subwoofer at 4 ohms and the 500 watts of power is perfect for this. The second channel is used to power 2 JVC satellite speakers for upper frequencies. They are 8 ohm so really the amplifier can go 250 watts max with them. This system sounds very good for movies as the subwoofer can recieve a lot more power(those store-bought surround sound packages generally come with an underpowered subwoofer) thus the bass frequencies are excellent. For music I reccomend using an ipod or pc connected to the amplifier, that way you will be able to pre-amplify the audio signal and get the RMS value just right. I have tried using a flash drive plugged into my xbox 360 connected to the amplifier for music, but the speaker system is way underpowered as you can't pre-amplify the audio using this method. Anyway, this amplifier works great for the application I am using it for. I can imagine it would work great for applications such as live sound, PA speaker power, etc. I almost forgot to say this, for the inputs it accepts either 2 cannon male inputs, or 2 1/4" male mono jack inputs. For outputs you can use either the three conductor speaker jacks, or the 4 binding posts to connect speaker wire directly to the amplifier. This amplifier is bridgable, so you can get 1000 watt max power output by using the middle conductor speaker jack(it is labeled) or by connecting the speaker wire to the 2 positive binding posts(no negative involved). If you need 1000 watts of power for a particular application then this amp is great for the price and I highly recommend it. Hope this review helped.

The cheapest most cost effective amp of which I am aware. Hint it's not a 90 pound 1980s model crown macro tech that'll run a stadium speaker. If you have a peavey sp2g with black widow drivers you should know better than to approach that speaker with this amplifier. What are you thinking. But, the way they have modern stadiums with smaller speakers in the bleachers. Oh yeah this amp could work with those. Never let subwoofer enter your pretty little head with this amp. Think 1970s Honda civic. Just not made to be a truck truck. It's light inexpensive and You could lift it out of a tight parking space so whenever it was big enough to carry what you need it's the go to. I use mine for:MonitorsBlown powered speaker- I drop in a passive crossover and a jack plate and use one of these amps.Tops to the main system when using a high crossover point. Like you want the subs carrying the lows and low mids if you're aiming this amp to the audience.This amplifier is little light and darn near disposable. I have several of these. I send these if I'm loaning out a regular pa speaker. You can run one ok pa speaker ok with this amp. Not stellar but pretty good. I've got a DJ using one of these right now. I've got a keyboard player without an amp. I've got plenty of extra passive speakers. He gets this amp and a speaker for his keyboard amp and he's happy as a clam. I make it a point to run one of these whenever its powerful enough. I carry one of these extra for whenever I need to engage unplanned for speaker at an event. I usually run more powerful amplifier as this isn't enough for my mains or subs and I run to many monitors most gigs for this to handle. To put this amplifier into my main system I have to change the load. Like working with smaller people. They'll work just can't carry what big people carry. It's not a powerful amplifier. It's good for what it's good for at an excellent price.

This product is showing clip mode as soon as I plugged it upNot good. This amp has been used before

Clean sound, easy to use. Not as powerful as I thought...but I'm using it in a small music studio, so it is fine for that. Some reports of earlier models of this unit before 2018 had noisy fans. This was purchased in 2024, and I tested it right out of the box for 30 minutes on 75% volume. The fan turned on at first, but then quieted down. Remember this is only a 2-channel amplifier or can be bridged into one channel for more wattage. I have a smaller 15w Pyle amplifier I bought over 10 years ago that is still going strong. Worth the money so far.

I purchased this amp to use as a set up in a shop where I store my toys and tools etc. No major need to audiophile sound but does a good job. Plenty of power to 2 DJ speakers and makes a lot of noise. My only beef with the amp is that there is sometimes a hum at start up that disappears after I turn the volume down and back up. For the price I paid for what I am using it for this is a definite value.Update: I have purchased a second PTA 1000 that I am using bridged on a 15 inch Pyle subwoofer to go along with the 1st amp that I am now using to drive 4 DJ speakers. These amps have held up well and I even use them to DJ parties on occasion. Just did an Oktoberfest party and let them run at high volume with Oompa music for 7 hours. The Police came at around 10:15 and let us know that the music was too loud and that they had never had to tell anyone to turn down Polka music. I have also used them to set up for backyard theater applications. These amps have been a very good purchase.
