Would this amp be good to plug my USB PC desktop speakers into to get a louder sound? How good is the bass?

No this amp has the docks in the back for the positive and negative directly from the speaker. The bass is awesome from the speakers I have but the bass would more of depend on the speaker because of how many watts it takes to reach the speakers peak.

I use it with some Bose bookshelf speakers on a TV in the man cave. It would be great for pc speakers. However I don't think it will work for you. It has either RCA or bare wire outputs. The usb port is for input, ie. ipods, flash drives etc. to play sound through.

Speaker quality is very important, it will not matter how much power or tone is applied. Look up Micca Motion MB42 bookshelf speakers and you will have a great combination of economy and superior sound quality. Save yourself a few bucks and get the Lepai 2020A. Not very impressed with the 269FS.

In short, I would say no. If you feel like removing all USB functionality - then technically yes. (cut the speaker lines and place into the amp outs). I suspect the low output over your current system is a combo of low power from the USB powered amp (it's technically only capable of 2.5w output) - and cheap speakers. So If I'm going to be truthfully honest - by another powered speaker PC set. For utilizing this amp you'd want to purchase new speakers as well.

Others have already answered and they are correct; you will be able to boost bass a bit, but don't expect the mind-numbing bass you get from a rapper's car coming down the street behind you. Headphones (even the best, some of which I own) aren't really able to provide bass in the sense a fine pair of audio speakers could, but this amp is very "clean" in terms of tone and will provide very accurate bass. Invest $40-$75 in a good NOS RCA, Telefunken, Mullard, Amperex, or similar 1950's-1960's tube to get the most from the amp at all frequency levels.

Read the name. Lol. No, pyle is a pile ive had 3 of this amp and nothing good came of it. Now, a good amp is the Power Acoustik Demon series monoblock amp. It pushes either 2000w, 4000w, or 6000w depending on which amp u want and its relatively cheap. Look it up and you tell me what you think. Also remember: you get what you pay for.

If you're going to use it for clean sound it should be OK, of course it won't sound as good as a real amp. The distortion and drive effects on this unit are not really that good though, so they're almost useless without an amp, if you intend to use the Nova for distorted sound.

Alex - You need to explain and understand your setup and budget. If you are using this for primary source of music and need to drive prof speakers or just casual listening with avg pair of speakers. Power amp cannot be used directly with PC; try M1Sdac or M1 Clic as pre amp and use that to drive the volume on M1Pwr - as the latter has fixed volume. Better solution would be to have powered speakers - Genelac or Krk would you be good bets presuming you have the $s.

You will probably have better control if you will get an AMP to go with it rather than just plugging it straight to the PC. This makes alot of feedbacks specially if the place is small.

Hub Bub here. I just got a bass guitar and happy to report this little amp sounds just fine playing a Fender style precision bass. Plenty of volume for practice alone or with the radio. I reported earlier of good bass response with a standard guitar but didn't know how well it would work with a bass. Now I know this will work just fine.

I am by no means an expert on this. My speaker can shake things off my desk in the bedroom and easily drown out conversation in the large living room. I guess it depends on the shape and size of your space along with the size of everyone else's amps. Maybe you can borrow an amp of similar power for a test run before you buy. This OC is a great sounding box. Good luck.

I wouldn't suggest it. The horn and speaker config in a PA speaker is not designed to work well with a bass amp. Your tone wont be very good. If you decide to go down this path it needs to be able to handle 480 Watts

I think it would be ok for that. I think they over rate the amp to be honest. I returned mine because it didnt really fit my needs but, I ended up buying a all in one. For the money it will most likely do the job.

This is a great little amp and has worked well for me. If your looking for loud bass then this is not the amp your looking for. i have it set up in my mini van 2 speakers I. The door and 2 all the way in the back trunk area, all are 5 1/2 inch speakers and it seems to produce good power for listening. Hope that helps.

The bass is phat! You don't need an amp as long as you are playing from a decent source (iPod, etc.)

It's a really nice, clean-sounding amp. It works best with efficient speakers and when hooked up to a computer to take advantage of the built-in DAC (Digital to Analog converter). As others have pointed out it's a little under-powered but fine for a smaller room (e.g. bedroom). It also has a really good headphone amp.

If I were you I would look for a good pair of PC speakers. Technically it is possible using an amp and converter cables. If you are using the computer as part of a music system setup then it maybe worth going this route.

As long as you can adapt out of pc or laptop to a 1/4 inch plug to insert to amp, be careful how hot a signal you send, I would turn volume on pc down and slowly increase input to desired volume.

This should work for that. I have mine set up to work with an old pair of B&O speakers, and it sounds great! It's not a super powerful amp, so it won't get all that loud, but it puts out good sound. It has both USB and RCA inputs so you can hook it up to a computer AND another external input.

My google search led me to this because I am looking for a small amp to put on a pair of speakers to make them work like a small set of speakers that you would hook up to a computer. I am just going to use this as I might use yahoo answers. Is there a really small amp that I could put on a small pair of speakers and hook up to a computer? It doesn't even need a volume knob (although one would be nice). Something in the 50-100watt range I think would be about right.
