FAQ:
Q: Can you somehow connect a Bluetooth speaker to this amplifier or to any other hifi amplifier for that matter?
A: No, the amplifier only has RCA plugs for L & R inputs and four output Speaker terminals for L (+-) and R (+/-). The amplifier does not support Bluetooth operations.

Q: Does this amp have enough power to run four 4" speakers?
A: Yes, as long as you wire the four speakers into two pairs with no less than a 4 ohm impedance per pair. This amp is not rated for use with a 2 ohm speaker load, which may cause damage to the amplifier.

Q: Can I connect to a Vizio TV and use it to power speakers?
A: Yes, you could hook up the amp to a TV and use external speakers. However, this unit is very weak with output. You would be better off with a cheap sound bar made specifically for a TV.

Q: How does this hook up to Arcade1up? This has RCA audio inputs but need an RCA to 3.5mm cable? How would this attach to the speaker? Sodder?
A: This amplifier will hook up to any RCA L and right outputs.

Q: Can I use this as a pre-amp for a record turntable and plug outputs into two Bluetooth speakers?
A: Yes, you can use this amplifier as a pre-amp for a record turntable. However, the amplifier does not support Bluetooth operations.

Q: What class D chip amp is used on this unit?
A: The specific chip amp used in this unit is not specified by the manufacturer.

Q: I'm getting white noise only when I connect the two input channels. If I only use one, the audio comes out ok from the speakers. Anyone know why?
A: If you troubleshoot both inputs by moving the working channel from L to R and vice versa and both channels work with one wire, do the same from the source. Make sure it is not the source. Try a different device. If you find the problem still does not go away, then you have a bad unit and you need to exchange it.

Q: Where is my power supply!?!?!
A: If your package did not come with a power supply, please contact Amazon customer support for assistance.

Q: Can you split the wire between left and right PC speakers and hook it to terminal on this amp?
A: Yes, you can split the wire between left and right PC speakers and hook it to the terminal on this amp. However, since there is amplification from the PC, the amp range of the device might be limited, and there may be some distortion at higher volume.

Q: I am looking for more control over bass treble. Hook this into any audio out and keep speakers plugged into receiver and still get functionality?
A: Yes, this amplifier allows independently customizing the amount of bass and treble from an audio source. However, the sound quality may not be as good as a dedicated receiver or amplifier.
