    Kinter MA170 12V 2 Channel Mini Digital Audio Power Amplifier for Car or Mp3

    • The sound was good, but not as loud as the Lepai
    • Good & clear sound and very inexpensive.
    • Amazing good sound, using on a ammo box specker Conneted to a 12Volt battery
    • This fit the bill, until I ran some tunes through: terrible sounding amp the quickly distorted at relatively low volume (turned to about 11 o'clock on the dial)
    • Got this amp in the mail today and it boosted the sound on the speakers
    • The sound was fantastic
    • When I connected it without, there was a pretty annoying popping sound while the car was running
    • If you have a couple of small speakers doing nothing, you can put together a decent office computer sound system with the addition of this under-ten-dollar amp and a twelve volt DC power adapter.
    • Over all this is a great amp for the price, yes a more expensive amp will get louder/ sound better, but you will pay way more than $10 for it
    • The sound is fantastic
    • Decent enought to set up a nice sound system for working out
    • This amp sounds great, I have it hooked up to a record player and it has no sound difference between it and the more expensive amp that was there before it
    • In hindsight I wish I had purchased something a little nicer for a little better sound.
    • Had this for about two years, great sound for two self amplified speakers I have in which the amp had failed, so I took the amp part out and matched the wattage with this one.
    • Works great, good quality sound and cheap!!
    • Even though it's really not a high wattage rated amplifier, it's freaking got enough juice to FILL my kitchen with great sound on a seriously limited budget..
    • Good enough but not quality sound.
    • Amazing sound for the price!
    • You aren't going to get amazing sound out of this but for a portable sound system, it can't be beat.
    • As one reviewer already pointed out, combining the speaker L/R outputs to facilitate a single speaker connection distorts the sound.
    • The sound was clear and stable at 50% volume which is as high as I wanted to go with the small speakers I was using (It was loud!).
    • The amp runs cool and has a nice crisp sound.
    • Working great, good sound, used this twice now with 2 65watt horn speakers, remote off and on and mp3 player very good volume for an e caller.
    • The better the speakers the better the sound, get loud enough
    • It is not a good sounding amp even with ample power supply
    • Smart nice little amp nice sound and power
    • The sound was somewhat muddy and I had these ground loop hum/interference problems I could never solve
    • I like the sound of the Lepai
    • The Kinter MA170 delivers nice sound for what I am using it for of which is testing old stereo equipment such as record players, tape players, etc
    • Box sounds hollow and empty, cheesy china components, so again, dont expect much
    • sound is muddy and gross.. not clear at
    • First, the audio was so bad sounding that the bass and treble knobs on the amp only made it sound worse with anything other then the center setting, I played around with a software EQ and that helped quite a bit but it still sounded bad.
    • It's compact size delivers great sound!
    • Puts out a nice sound with surprisingly good bass
    • Simple, clean 2-channel sound.
    • I used it to supply and support the use of earphones which wouldn't make enough sound for a partially deaf friend.
    • And while I wasn't expecting spectacular sound, and it wasn't, it was definitely better than the more expensive computer speakers I had hooked up to the mac
    • How cool is that?This system is somewhat more powerful and has a better frequency range than typical USB speakers, producing a decent sound with enough volume to fill my apartment living room without annoying the neighbors
    • Good sound.
    • Better tone control , as good , brighter sound
    • For only $9 this amp is a deal, but if anyone with any kind of audio experience and tell that the sound this this puts out is absolute garbage
    • It has enough sound to fill a small room, and the bass and treble are both pretty good as well.
    • Distorts pretty easy and you have to turn it up very high for any decent sound
    • The sound is clear and it gets adequately loud running small bookshelf speakers
    • The sound is clearer than the Nakamichi
    • I like the sound and you can adjust it for different types of speakers easily.
    • Very clean sounding with excellent highs and decent enough bass
    • good sound
    • Great product, , good quality aluminum case, buttons and connection are solid, well assembled, good sound
    • This little amp has great sound and perfect power for a set of patio speakers
    • The best sound I got was using my pair of Bose 701s (vintage 1977 models!) wired in series with a pair of Polk Audio bookshelf speakers
    • THD is little high at 0.10% but that's much less than the 10% THD you'll find on cheap, plastic sound systems or budget HT systems
    • Far better then I had expected the sound is clean and loud with no crackle or
    • Pure D
