Love your amp dyno setup now Rob! It is amazing how much power that little thing puts out, even though it didn’t make rated power.

Love your show man! Surprised the power that little thing did. Hope I get the chance to win it! Take care brother

I'd use install it on my parents utv on thier family farm. Looks like just the perfect size. Awesome power for the footprint.. 😊 ❤

I'm always impressed when something so small has that much power. I wasn't expecting it to do rated power with a 25 amp fuse.

The past few years I’ve seen these Timpano amps advertised and amazed with how tiny they are. I’ve wondered how they stacked up and it looks like they did good. They also have a couple of different lines of subwoofers that look interesting

Great amp to hookup with a t harness, 4 channels, and stuff it nicely in the dash. I have a dsp that would control the frequencies nicely.

Seems like this would be a great upgrade for a daily beater. I’d may have to grab one of these for my son’s 96 Taurus. His next piece is a 4 Ch amp for his stock locations.

Growing up, an amp this size was just unheard of. Never mind the output it’s capable of. I’m not a Brazilian amp fan at all but this is still no less than impressive.

In the late ‘90s Jensen had an amp this size, but it was only rated at about 20 watts X 4, and it wasn’t very likely to put out that much power!

I’d hook it up in my nephews car. I gave him a door speakers and sub and sub amp already. Use this to round it all out pretty nicely

Great amp for some low to moderate mids and highs and easy to hide somewhere. Would love to have one to go with my timpano and black diamond mids and highs

I could definitely use this amp.. I need an amp for my 6.5" mids and tweeters. It would make such a huge difference and sound so much better.

That's a awesome little amplifier I would love win this to give to my son for his motorcycle

Awesome little amp!

I am looking at this amp for my Dodge Charger Harmon Kardon upgrade. I have a factory 8" sub in the rear deck, and am adding the 2-10" Harmon Kardon subs from a Challenger. The subs dont need much power, so I think this will fit the build perfectly.

This is a nice little amp, I would probably use it on my tweeters, it is more than enough power.

This amp would be great for more a hidden and tucked away clean install!! Literally put it anywhere you want

Definitely use this amp up front as its decent enough power for middlers and tweeters.

That's crazy how small that amp is!! Good luck to everyone

That's a bad ass little 4 channel, it would go great with my custom Bluetooth speaker build.

Pretty decent little amp. Looking for sound quality and Brazilian I highly recommend the PRV SQ amps

Ooh baby. I saw these and thought it could be a fun little amp. P.s. digging the video structure.

Always fascinated by tiny amps with decent power, tho not a fan of any extra noise. For something that size and power, I'd be using as an SQ component, so that 1KHz whine is not good. Still, it's pretty cool what they can do for under $100 and in a 4" square..:) Have a great one! Stu

I have a Pioneer mvh-s21bt head unit and 4 Infinity coaxial 6.5 's in the doors , the Pioneer just doesn't have enough power to get to that sweet spot level that I like . the Timpano amp would do that and then some .It would be great to win and bring me up to a higher level of listening to audio .

Itd be sick to build your own bluetooth speaker setup with this amp and the 500.1. 2 6.5 up front with 2 6.5 subs on side, source a bluetooth receiver and lithium battery and boom!

Oh boy. Good power! If I would ever win that (and I'm far out the US) that would do me some good with my cheapo home-car audio mix setup (4" sealed back 8ohm mids, 4" dual cone 4ohm speakers and 1" mylar 4ohm dome tweeter each channel). Currently using a 3116D2 amp board for that in the house while I got no car, let alone one that fit my sub box tuned to 21 Hz. Good luck to everyone!

This amp would be perfect for my wife's car which has a fault on the rear channel of the integrated head unit as it can easily be hidden under the dash.

My main car has all kinds of mids, amps, sub, and big ass power wires all through out, but for my other car...I prefer a more stealthy type of system. May just pick one of these up to install it behind the dashboard, or in the glove box. This way I wont have to run a full 8 gauge or 4 gauge power wire to the back, and for the channel connections I can just tap into the factory speaker wires, wont even have to run new speaker wires.

It would be a good improvement for my bicycle sound

I'd run four 6.5 coaxials with it in my old beater Toyota pickup since I have opted not to put a real system in that truck..

In my opinion you don’t need a key amp. Those are used mostly for retuning factory head units to put out frequencies that they take out at the factory. Most mono amps when the power is the same but they sound different is usually because the sound processing is different. A DSP can really improve the performance of your equipment. Good ones can be pricey though. I run a JL Audio TWK DSP and I absolutely love it. You can plug a laptop into it and make a crazy amount of adjustments as well as time corrections plus you can save different profiles. Audio control makes a really good one as well. In the more budget area is something like the Dayton audio DSP-408. It’s way cheaper that the other 2 I mentioned but still has some of the features.

I need one

What gauge wire should I use to power and ground this amp because I’m trying to build a custom portable Bluetooth speaker. Also any ideas on what components to pair this amp with would be really helpful.

What if I bridge it @ 2 ohm? Says 2x225 @ 4 ohm on the box. No specs bridged at 2 ohm. Was thinking of getting a kicker comp rt dvc 6.5 and replacing my factory 6.5 sub. I already have this amp.

Would be nice to try it out on my Harley

Hey is that an amp in your pocket or you just happy to see me 😅 Sorry been saving that one for a while HiFi

I'm surprised. It sounds pretty decent. Only thing is I'm concerned about safety. Is this amp safe to be pushing it hard for like a hour straight without starting a fire?

I think I could use this little amp on my motorcycle 🤔

Would be willing to give the amp a go in the wife's setup I'm getting together since I now have mine all together.

If I win this I would install this on my wife's car I already installed some component but is missing an amp

These Brazilian mini amps seem to throw out a bit of power for how small they are. The Timpano would go great alongside my Taramps DS160 behind the dash of my MR2. Run the front stage and factory subwoofers off the Timpano and run the rear coaxials off my DS160.

I don't understand how you can judge an amp as good or bad sounding? Doesn't the speakers determine the quality of the overall sound? I believe the key to good sound is decent speakers driven by an amp with enough juice to drive them properly and efficiently.

should be perfect for a pair of 3" mid range speakers and can be hidden away somewhere

I would run that little thing to power my mid bass in the 3 way I been putting off installing because I don't want to touch my finished amp rack. Like an idiot I didn't plan a 3 way setup expandability from the beginning. I could bury that thing anywhere.
