Enjoy sound and performance enhancing features like impressive total watt power output, Variable Bass Boost, Gain Control, Electronic Crossover Network, gold-plated RCA ports, Ohm production stability along with plenty more features that make the Pyle Chopper Series Amps an excellent choice for true car audio enthusiasts.
Intelligent Design
Safety features include power and protection LED indicator; soft turn-on/off, thermal, overload and speaker-short protection. LED Indicator shows when the amplifier is powered up normally and when your system is experiencing a protection fault.
Pump it Up
Take advantage of the Bass Boost Level Control and turn it up. Make adjustments to the Bass settings until you achieve that extra amount of kick you’ve been waiting for.
Strong Sound – Powerful Style
The jet-black design with polished chrome accents give the Chopper Series Amps a clean and tough appearance. Fortified aluminum heat-sinks with stream-lined and next-generation audio technology will definitely add some attitude to your audio.
Total Audio Control
Once you’re connected, customize and adjust your listening experience to your liking with the amplifier’s control center. You can personalize and fine-tune settings like:
- Level (Gain) Control – These are basically volume controls. This will allow you to adjust the incoming signal to the amplifier so that it works well with your headunit or to match the level of other amplifiers in your system.
- Phase - Allows you to change the relative time that the waveform meets your ear. With standard subwoofer installations where the subwoofer is behind you, the phase should generally be at O. When subwoofers or woofers are in the kick panels or door panels, an adjustment is useful in delaying the timing of the wave meeting your ear.
- High-Pass Filter – The High Pass crossover is used for sending midrange and high frequency information to a particular speaker. Activate the High Pass crossover if you intend to drive satellite or coaxial speakers in the system along with subwoofers driven by the amplifier’s channels. Even if your system does not include subwoofers, it may be helpful to activate the High Pass with smaller speakers to protect them from low frequency information to achieve better sound.
- Low-Pass Filter - Filters high frequencies out of the music and improves efficiency and sound quality by allowing only the low frequencies to pass to the subwoofer. Sends only low frequency information to particular speakers. Low Pass crossover activation is usually desired if you intend to power subwoofers.
- Bass EQ - Variable from a range of decibel adjustments, this feature regulates the impact of your bass kick. You’ll have manual control over balancing and correcting the frequency range of a given sound.
- Crossover Switch – Basically acts as a filter and limits selected frequencies going to a subwoofer, which gradually reduce frequency signal strength. Routes output of the Low Pass or the output of the High Pass filters, or ‘Full’ to the power amplifier.
*Please refer to table below for amplifier specific information and adjustment options.
Speaker Output Connections
Connect right and left speaker wire to corresponding speaker output terminals. Be sure to correctly connect the selected speaker wires to their respected speaker terminal, this includes both positive and negative wiring. Improper installation/wiring will result in the speaker cones to move out of phase which can cause bass cancellation.

I really appreciate feedback on Amazon (as well as other places) to help me make my purchasing decisions. I've rarely been steered wrong and I try to help out as well with my honest feedback. Now while it SAYS this amp is rated for 700/1400 watts we all should know that for the price listed that is HIGHLY unlikely. Surely they're basing it on "Peak Output" instead of the much more realistic RMS rating.
I bought this for my wife's truck to go with the 10" Pyle bandpass box. I haven't installed either yet but I did want to let you know the more detailed specification info listed inside the box.
Output power @ 14.4v DC, 1Khz
RMS power @ 4 Ohms - 80w x 2
RMS power @ 2 Ohms - 140w x 2
Max power output - 700w x 2 (I'm assuming that's the math they're using to get the "1400" rating)
RMS bridged power output @ 4 Ohms - 160w x 1
I'll post more once it's installed and (hopefully) thumping!

When my trusty Pioneer amp died on me after nearly 10 years, I was pretty torn. I didn't need bass that hit hard enough to bounce things off of my car, but I also didn't want to go back to stock.
Luckily, I found this on Amazon before wasting my money on some flea market junk.
The amp itself is pretty basic. You have typical crossover options and gain -- nothing special there. I noticed this uses two 10A fuses instead of one 20A fuse. (Then again, the amp I'm replacing is really old, so maybe this isn't as uncommon as I thought)
So, altogether pretty ho-hum, until I got it hooked up. I'm driving two Polk db12's in a bandpass box, and they sound like new speakers with this amp. The range seems to be great, if a little "hollow" compared to the Pioneer. But that aside, it's LOUD and I haven't encountered any overheating problems.
Obviously, this isn't something you'll want to use as a foundation for a competition-grade system, but it's more than enough for a casual enthusiast. (And total overkill for people who don't have to good sense to use foam or Dynamat under their license plates... you know who you are...)

Bought this to push two 12"s. Way more than i needed. install was simple. This would drown 2 15"s easy. A real bang for your buck. Ive read other (unhappy) reviews and can honestly come to the conclusion that they couldn't have hooked their system up correctly otherwise they'd be as satisfied as me.
