    I actually have three of those little amplifiers. One for my home theater surround sound, one to power my train sound system and the other for the kitchen which includes radio and SD card input.

    In 2011 I took an old cooler and put a deep cycle marine battery in it, wired up one of these amps to 2 Kenwood 5x7’s and played music through a 3.5mm aux to rca adapter…you could hear it from blocks away. Pool toy of the year

    I have an old Sony stereo that the control unit burnt-out and did not want to get rid of the speaker so I searched and searched and came across this small amps and decided to give one a try and surprisingly it works very well, brought them old speakers back to life 😅.

    I had a red one years ago, I rember the lighting not working but it was a great little amplifier for someone getting into speakers and audio stuff, I've had it for about 7 years and it still works! It cuts out if the volume knob is touched or not lined up precisely. Defnitly worth the money though

    Remember , sound pressure levels are logarithmic, so to double the actual volume, you need 10 times the power. That means that with a 10 watt amp you get hals as loud as with a 100 Watt. However, the lower power amp will distort quicker which doesn't do much good for the qound quality. All in all for a small set of speakers this amp is nt so bad . I use 2 of them for driving 2 pairs of bookshelf speakers connected to my PC. Works great .

      A 3db increase doubles the perceived loudness. To get a 3db increase you need twice the power. A 10db increase is 10 times louder thus needing 10 times the power

    pls can you try the 3$ ultra cheap aliexpress TPA's amp boards, the TPA3116D2 are so powerful for the ridicxlxus prices.... the tda3116d2's (at 25v 8amps) power can blow up a 6,5'' o 8'' car speaker without problems.. the mono version board called: XH-M542 ,from my tests only a speaker with a coil of at least 38mm can resist at the full power of this mono TPA , it has monstrous bass... and for 3$...

    I've used this amp in its - MANY, MANY different configurations and brand names through the years. Usually for general purpose. some examples would be hooking up a tv or tuner to bookshelf speakers in a bedroom, small office or garage, it performs well for its rating. I don't think it would hold up well in a car though.

    Your smps powersupply is probably very noisy causing the static noise and the wirering can be very sub par in relation to the ability to deliver power and again causing a higher level thd. Try connecting it to the battery directly and see if the lower frequencies is handled better (the higher energy demand at lower frequencies could be a symptom)

    It'd be interesting to run through a few of the dirt-cheap amps and receivers that you see advertised by Amazon sellers and others, eg TEMU, Ali Express etc. I'm 66 and when I was a (very poor!) little kid getting hold of things like woofers, tweeters, crossovers, amps etc was almost impossible, and there were no municipal tips either, so you were really out of luck. I tried to make a miniature stereogram with a mono MW radio and two completely different speakers, but it was bloody rubbish. Thankfully young people today have the facilities to become very creative so that by the time they can buy their first car they can make sure their first self-owned domain has some banging hi-fi so they can drive around waking everyone up, ha ha ha!

    Make sure you get one that has at least 60 amps . For what you got I recommend over 100 amps .
    Even greater if you wish . The higer the amp the better .
    Computer power supply are all high current . Power can’t drop . You don’t need a battery . You can clean all those wires . You be impressed.
