Pyle 4 Multi-Zone Stereo Amplifier - 19” Rack Mount, Powerful 8000 Watts with Speaker Selector Volume Control & LED Audio Level Display, 4-Ch. Bridgeable Switches - PT8000CH

I'm not sure what people are expecting from this amplifier or am I sure if people understand how wattage works when it pertains to amplifiers. This Amp is rated at 8000 watts peak (meaning it could probably play that wattage for nano seconds not continuously) Clearly this is an exaggeration as an 8000 watt amp would certainly need it's own separate power source etc.Now that is out the way, my suggestion is people to evaluate what they need this amp for. For high end home theater? Certainly NOT. However to power multiple speakers in a home or business for 'Fill' music. Not a problem.All 8 channels in my amp are being used to power my whole home music. Channel 1/2 power the bathroom speakers (6.5inches), 3/4 power both the speakers in the foyer and kitchen[6.5 inches] (I used piggy back banana plugs), 5/6 power speakers in the Great room (8inches) and 7/8 each power a 10inch in ceiling subwoofer (one in the kitchen and the other in the great room). It does it effortlessly and without problems.I purchased my amp used from Amazon warehouse deals for $171, which is a steal. Still came with the warranty but did have a few scratches on the rack mount system. Since I was installing this in a dedicated music cabinet, the scratches weren't a problem. Unit works well.ConsTrigger does not work as it should. I have never been able to get the input trigger to receive signal from my Denon x4000. Checked the settings etc. The denon can signal other devices, just not this one. Since my amp is out of reach, I used a WEMO wifi outlet. That way I can use my phone to power on/off the amp. (I can be lazy).This is not an amplifier for Audiophiles. It will not provide clean, tight power but it will give you adequate sound and be reliable.The lights in the front are quite bright but as mine is out of sight, it doesn't bother me. Plus I prefer to see the Spectrum lights to determine if I'm clipping or not.The Denon x4000 has 3 zone capability therefore I can listen to one source in the bathroom, another source throughout the house and watch a movie in 7.1 in the Man cave. The 8 channel amp handles everything outside the Man Cave and the Denon handles the Man Cave speakers.I ran all the wires through the attic and connected in-wall volume control components so I can adjust the volume independently for each room even though I can just use my phone to adjust the volume also. (This is more a feature of the Denon rather than the Pyle.)The Amp does come with a fan but it's best to put it in a well ventilated area and/or install a a/v fan.I've ran this playing music throughout the day and night and it runs without problems. Pair it will pyle in-wall speakers and it will give you decent whole home music. Nothing spectacular but definitely adequate.Highly recommend it. Any questions, feel free to ask away.

This Amp is crystal clear and drives my Klipsh RP 800F on my Yamaha 9.2 surround sound home theater.I listened to the Yamaha AMP for $2000.00 and this one as a pre amp i could not hear the difference associated with the cost. Very happy with this AMP.....

First off, please update your pictures of this unit so we can see all the different settings on the back of the unit. I am attaching much better pics that show all the different features on the rear of the unitOk, now the unit. It is a very heavy unit so be prepared to have someone help you get the unit into place.I have tested a few different ways with this unit. I am using Polk SDI 8 for speakers tested.First way I tried was simple Bluetooth receiver and used my volume on my phone to turn volume up and down. I know the SDI 8’s can put out some powerful bass but nothing like I have heard before. Since I am running my phone and Bluetooth, my phone was the EQ. So I had no EQ, bass EQ, and More treble EQ. For me, I left it as no EQ and those speakers made some great sound!Second way I tested was thru Yamaha R-N303BL pre out to Aux in on the Pyle. I still was playing Bluetooth and using my phone as volume. The sound was still the same and sounded greatOne downfall of this unit is there no master volume per say. There is pre set volume control in the back of the unit and that is it. All volume control will need to be done via source that has volume control.My main goal is to have a total of 8 outdoor speakers running off this unit for my outdoor music. So far, I have 6 speakers done and it sounds wonderful.This unit is also rack mountable but buyer beware that it has front and back mount guides. The front guides line up great. However, the rear mount holes do NOT line up. I had to make a back support to hold up the unit in the back.Overall, not a bad investment for my outdoor sound. If the folks from Pyle read these comments, please add volume control and line up the rear guides to fit in a network rack. Otherwise, thanks for marking a nice unit!
