Sound Storm Laboratories EV2.200 2 Channel Car Audio Amplifier - 200 High Output, 2-8 Ohm Stable, High/Low Level Inputs, Hook Up to Subwoofer for Bass

For those giving poor reviews due to "not enough power" you should research your product and what you intend to use it with, or have someone who has been in the audio industry help you. I've been in car audio for 15 years, professionally trained, worked in various shops and competed in SPL competitions, among a myriad of other things.Bottom line: This amp works great for what it is.This will not blow you away, this will not pound anything, it is made to add a few smaller speakers to a setup if you are looking to get a bit more sound. I utilized this in an install recently adding a set of lower end Pioneer 6x9's to a wagon that already had four 6.5's in it. Sound was clear, power matched to the 6x9's beautifully, worked as intended. I also run the 3000.1 monoblock and a 12" SSL in my daily driver, I wanted something inexpensive but good sound, not disappointed. Will this win any comps? No. Will it sound good for the money? Absolutely. Most head units nowadays put out at least 50w and since this runs 50w RMS @ 4 OHM you wont gain much switching from a head unit to this amp. This is one designed primarily for those wanting to add 2 more speakers to their setup to just gain a bit more sound.For the DOA ones, any company mass producing will have products that fail, unfortunately most of the people who speak the loudest are often due to poor experiences. Such is the industry.If you are looking for an amplifier, know the speakers you intend to use, match the amplifier to them. If the speakers handle 80 RMS, get an amp that can do 100 RMS. If you can run your amp at 80% rather than 100% it'll save the life of your amp significantly. You can always dial an amp back, you can't dial it past 100%.

Just got around to installing this amp today. Once I got everything installed, I went to power up the amp.... green light, gain was turned all the way down, fuse is good. Went to increase gain and I got was a "humming" sound. Switched the RCA cables with my already operating installed RCA cables that run to my sub amp, same thing. Tried re-grounding in a different location, didnt work, tried everything possible and all I gotten was the humming. I didnt get upset because I knew better than to purchase something so cheap even if it were just to hold me over for a little while. Save your money, this product simply doesnt work.

Made a nice difference. Currently running a powered sub so I only needed this for 2 door speakers. Great little amp.

Bought this for a portable Android radio box project, this amp will be powering two infinity reference 6.5 speakers, 2.5 ohm, first off Android radios are notorious for very low power output on the speaker level and even lower on the RCA, with the RCA connected I got 28w max undistorted with this amp, used the speaker level inputs instead and got 36w max undistorted, well below the rated power, not to surprised at this price point but still disappointed as I was hoping for at least 50w per channel. Adding a sub to this mix and was considering a second 2 channel one ( sub is a dual voice coil 2ohm pioneer 8 ) but 36 per coul is not going to cut it. In short if you are really low on cash and need a basic amp for some sound over what your head unit will provide this will work or if you need a small tweeter amp.I did end up looking inside to see exactly which chips were used and was surprised that it a very basic design, the amp chip is a low end TDA7377 single chip, the kind you find in cheaper car radios and desktop amps, definitely not a typical car amp layout. Reading the specs of that chip shows me there is no way this amp would hit the rated power, but I'll keep it since it does work and was cheap.

I installed the amp with a Lightning Audio install kit. I soldered in to the rear speaker wires for connection to the high inputs on the amp, and soldered in to the accessory wire leading to the head unit for remote on. The low pass filter works fine. Remote on works fine. There is a slight pop on power up with remote, but I imagine that is to be expected. I was disappointed to learn it's not bridgeable, but it works fine on one 100W channel. I haven't driven it hard on my 12" sub, but IMO there's no need. It does a great job filling in the lows that my factory stereo couldn't reach. The price is excellent for the versatility of high and low inputs, low pass filter, and dual channels. I was also happy with the compact size, as it fits easily under one side of the driver's seat without risk of getting kicked.

This amplifier is not for home use! It does not come with a power cord or adapter to run on household electricity. It is designed to run on the kind of battery power found on boats and cars. I ordered it by mistake because the product's description did not make this clear. If you need a home audio amplifier, like I did, this product is not for you. The 3 star rating I posted is meant to be neutral, because I never actually used this product. I returned it for a refund when I realized that it was not what I needed. This review has been rewritten in response to the criticisms provoked by the original version. I hope it is more helpful now.

I used this to drive the factory subwoofer in a 2004 Tahoe. The original BOSE amplifier would stop working in cold temperatures and I needed to replace it. I could drive the factory speaker with an aftermarket radio but needed an amp for the subwoofers. This was a perfect for my application and gives the radio the extra kick I was looking for. I believe it's doing a better job than the original BOSE amplifier. An added bonus was that two of the screws matched the footprint of the BOSE amplifier so screwing it in place required no modification.Likes:- Easy installation- Remote on/off power control- Variable drive level and range switch- Small Size- The right amount of functionality, nothing extra, nothing left out.

small package powerfull amp. this added the extra punch i needed for my new door speakers.

Lo tengo en mi auto a un solo canal 2 ohm 2x6.5 in configurado como subwoofer y la verdad es que le da un sonido envolvente al auto... no es para andar poniendo música para que todo mundo escuche, en mi opinión es perfecto para darle un sonido más reforzado al sistema de sonido que tiene un auto por defecto... supongo que sonaría aún mejor con un par de 8" a 2 ohm

Small unit and easy to install. Used for extra speakers in my motor home when watching the TV with a blueray dvd machine. Delivery was fast.

Es buen amplificador tiene todas las opciones de entradas y salidas para aplicarse al estereo y no suena mal para un subwoofer

Very good price, good size and the power is good for the size.
