Does anyone have actual experience using this amplifier? What's your opinion on it? Good/Bad/Mediocre? Note that I don't need much more than a standard head unit amp quality and volume.
Also, could you please point me to the review(s) for it? I tried googling and searching the forum but to no avail.
Thanks!
hi, new guy. i have one of these, been using it for about 2 or 3 months. it actually suprised me on the sound quality and power. it has more power than my factory head unit did, and it seems realy clean. i didn't have much of a choice as my car has little room for add-ons such as amps. what ever i do has to fit in the dash. it does the job nicely.
new guy. i have one, it works pretty good.
Read lots of reviews for them and instead of buying multiple of the above product, get this:
Sure 4x100W @ 4 Ohm TK2050 Class-D Audio Amplifier Board
I have that and am in the process of installing it.
The Sure looks good, and that's a great price, but some reviews have been variable, shall we say. This looks pretty good too:

and some forum discussions here:

Some interesting possibilities here.

I'm going to install the Sure 4x100W once I have time and report my findings. I went with it b/c it's 4 channels and a lot better built than the one in this thread (IMO) + not having to buy TWO of them for a 4 channel rig makes a lot more sense.
We have a new TDA7850 Internal 4 x 50W Quad Bridge Power Amplifier. Similar to the DTA45, but a bit smaller with 4 channels now.
Very nice sound quality on our bench. We'll be installing this in a Nano ITX enclosure soon and installing in a test vehicle next. These will begin shipping in late April.
4x30 Watts (RMS): Not bad... Let's see how it performs inside the car. Will this have anti-thump built-in? At $80 a pop, I think I would still stick with the Sure 4x100W.
These will include an amplifier delay relay timer that can be used to solve the anti-thump problem.Quote:

this is a similar tripath chipset that is used in 41hz.com's amp9 amp..
here is nivanov's build thread detailing what he had to do to cool the chipset:
