Is this the same internals for the amp as the tripath class T in the 2020a+ or something different? I'm looking for the tripath but with a remote...

I own both amps, but without opening them up, I can't be sure that the internals are the same. It doesn't seem to have quite as much power at full volume into the same speakers as the Lepai LP-2020A+. The remote works very well.

The Mini-X a-100 is a "class AB" design, not a digital, "switching" amp. It uses the same circuit as Emotiva's big amps.

I used the Pyle PFA200 60-Watt Class-T Hi-Fi Audio Amplifier after trying some other amps like the Lepai 2020 (which was not nearly as loud and blew out on the 31st day). I wired this amp in directly to my truck and bridged the Pyle PSP8 speaker (positive of one channel, negative of the other). I only have the amps volume turned half way up or so and it is WAY louder than it was off just my straight CB or off the Lepai. This combo was exactly what I was looking for.

Spec sheet says it's higher, but where did the six pounds go? It's possible the weight loss was due to the refinement of internal components other than the amp, but six pounds is a lot. I emailed Pioneer and they stated that they are using smaller, better components, but the quality is the same. I suppose we will have to wait for the audiophile reviews.

Yeah, it will barely work, but ideally you want to drive it with something like an Emotiva XPA-2 to really help it hit its potential. I run my RTI A9s using that XPA-2 through the pre-amp output of a Yamaha RX-A2010BL 9.2-Channel and it sounds amazing. If you don't plan to upgrade to an auxillary amp like that, I'd say the RTI-A7 is a better fit. As others have said, the lack of power is much more noticeable in multichannel mode because the power per channel of your amp will not be 130w when you drive 5.1+ channels. BTW I am also running CSi-A6, F/XiA6, and a PowerSound Audio Sub XS-30.

I am using the amp with the HDT 170 model. With that is works fine, no complaints.

Not sure about the ohms without digging up the paperwork. I have 2- 300wt speekers and i'm very happy with the amp. No remote control is my only issue.

I have a pioneer amp and sub. It worked perfectly. But yeah its universal. Just be careful they have been messing up on orders cause i saw the other answers to your question where they messed up on theirs too. I got some removal tool. I calles them and they immediately sent me the actual kit. They paid for the shipping and it was express so they had it to me within a couple of days

Interesting. I've been considering pre-ordering the 1390T. The amazon description says it does have multi-point routing, maybe it is wrong. With the FM transmitter on the 765T, do you have to use the FM transmitter, and does this mean you have to tune your radio to a dead FM channel while driving? Interesting point you make, because the prices are very similar on Amazon.

Hey Steve, sorry about the delay. I've been using this thru my Fender The 25-watt Frontman® 25R features classic Fender® Blackface™ looks (black covering, silver grille cloth and skirted knobs), dual selectable channels (normal and drive); auxiliary input for CD, media player or drum machine use; headphone jack; treble, mid, bass, volume, gain and drive controls; reverb; and optional footswitch for remote channel selection. It sounds awesome but I guess that you could use it thru any amp/Speaker. Hope this was helpful.

If you can find a place to install the amplifier and mount the speakers, it will work. Most folks have room to mount the speakers on the handlebars (I don't). The remote can be mounted a number of ways. The amp is not waterproof! Install it where it won't get wet.

Yes; get a Topping TP22. If you replace with another DTA-100a you may experience a second failure just as I did.

No. The LP-2020A+ uses a Tripath class-T chip while this uses a Sanyo IC chipset. The Tripath chips are digital amplifiers designed in California. They are highly efficient but they can sometimes produce distortions outside of the audioband. This can degrade or interfere with radio reception. This is not to say that Class-T is bad. It depends on the implementation of the design. This 12 volt mini, on the other hand, uses Sanyo linear ICs. They should not interfere with radio reception. They don't produce as much power, but they produce enough for many systems. It all depends on your application. Sanyo is a veteran Japanese manufacturer.Regards,Rusk Reeder No. The LP-2020A+ uses a Tripath class-T chip while this uses a Sanyo IC chipset.

This amp does not have a remote. I would keep looking. Receivers and pro audio amps are 2 different animals. I haven't come across any pro audio amps with remotes, but there may be some.

I haven't heard that series...I had a damaged planet audio 5000.1 ...my amp is on that level or above...meaning they both hit hard as hell...I feel them through the seats...I'll be deaf at 50...they knock off my mirror at vol.15 for sure...5-8..you feel it through the seats...I have 97 grand marquis...it's hooked to 2 kicker solo baric 15 " L7s...finally..i jus wanted a amp that could take a beating if i need it to...way more power than i need

The amp will not turn on and off with the preouts, you need the remote. Please refer to your local installer, thank you.

There's absolutely nothing built in to enable a remote, no IR port or bluetooth or whatever, and this is not the sort of either case or circuit that would be easy to add one, even for a skilled electronicist. You asked if there's "any way", and I'm sure that its possible to build a whole device to chain with this amp, and somebody may even make a commercial one, but I suspect you really want a way that doesn't require you to become a world-class solder jockey/audio engineer/Tony Stark, and I don't see one.
