Did you guys just splice a USB wire and soldered it to this or did you use a 5v Power Adapter and spliced that? Need Power ideas for this amp?

For my application I just used a power supply set to 5v, but VBUS will power it just fine as one of my coworkers did with the same amp.

I soldered a usb wire on mine like you said but it will also work with a 5v power adapter as well it was just easier for to use the usb wire since I have alot of them just laying around!!

I grabbed an old mouse, cut the cable, and then stripped the red (+5v) and black (gnd/-) and soldered those into the power vias on the board (the holes on the circuit board).This chip is rated for a MAX of 5.5 volts, so DON'T try to run it from four AA or AAA batteries, you will fry it. However, the USB 5volts works just fine. Mine has been running for what, about a month now, and going strong.

I used banana plugs for the amp output, and soldered 1/4 mono jacks for the speakers to a length of wire.

I had mine hooked up to a car amp.It worked for 5 hours.Then nothing. It is a piece of trash.

Q: can you use this to power 4 6x9 speakers (150rms each at 4ohm) And how would you wire a high level imput into this amp? (stock head unit because they dont make an aftermarket one)A: You can buy the speaker line to RCA adapter to feed your speaker lines into the amp. I used an Audiocontrol LC6i in my setup but not necessary unless you want to add subwoofer and amps.I have a small amp for my speakers and one amp for this sub. 2ohms is how the shop I went to set it up. The amp I got was like $65 and it works great. I've had both for about 1.5-2 years now

your going to need a amp hook up kit. I got the one off here for like 17 bucks and it had everything you need to hook this up. I got my hooked up in like 30 minutes going through firewall was only hard part. but still simple just took some time and careful planning.hope this helps

Don't know what to tell you. I would imagine to contact there service rep. The output on mine works great, it is a nice amp...

there was no voltage or output amps. It did not work. I spent 8 bucks on this, 8 bucks shipping and I'm gonna pay to ship it back? No! I took it apart and found the red wire broke off the circuit board. Does anybody check to see if it works before it is sold? I think not.

Looks like the same one I bought. I used a 12 volt DC 1 amp output converter. Think I got it from Radio Shack. It was plenty loud with even a smaller amperage converter I had, but I thought it might overdrive it so I got the 1amp just in case.

I have the output connected to another amp, in anothher room. No external spkr jacks to do it otherwise unless internal wiring is modified.

I don't fully understand your question; the unit is a powered subwoofer. an 8" compact driver and an 800watt peak/400 watt RMS amplifier. You would wire this up the same was as any other powered subwoofer, you'll need a main power, ground, and a 12V power on signal (usually tapped the blue/blue-white power-antenna lead) and an RCA stereo input. There are kits available for the wiring (the boss 10 or 8 gauge kits are both adequate for this application and available on amazon). It does not work without power.

i ended up attaching the brown wire from the end that goes to the amp to the amp's chassis, that worked the best. other brown wire not attached to anything. hope that helps. just try it for the best results.

I have since sold the unit. I used 2 powered Sub Woofers and connected them to the Sub Woofer Out on the back of the unit.

I have not try that yet. But since you brought it up, I will test it. How the unit has to work with an amp.

Just split put a line splitter on the audio out. (two RCA lines) Then you also have to splice in another single line on the amp on (remote) wire. You can do this buy purchasing two amp install kits and running the ground and power like normal. and buy these CableWholesale's RCA Audio Piggyback Cable, 2 RCA Male to 2 RCA Male + RCA Female Piggyback, 6 foot plug in the rca from the radio into this and then into one amp then run the other lines to the other amp. then just make a T splice in the remote wire!

None from personal experience. I would start at Ray Samuels Audio first though. The amps I have from him are amazing. If he doesn't have a solution for you, he's very helpful and will be able to point you in the right direction.

Yeah. Just need to have the right wire leads to your amp. Check with a local car audio place cause I couldn't tell ya. Also need to have power to the amp from the battery.

Anyone try running the output through the Fx Loop Send, increasing gain and lowering the Volume(so the speaker isn't heard)? But if this works you'll loose the Power tube phase. I'm using Blackstar Ht Metal's Emulated Output for this purpose.
