Unfortunately I bought this amp before I found this newsgroup.

What do you think?

Exactly four active components. It must be straight from the sample
schematic that come with those amp chips.

So why does this amp exist? It's clearly 18W RMS per channel, the same
as any headunit costing more than $49.

It's a baby chick amp..."cheap cheap".

1. IC amplifiers.
2. Very small power supply componants (the three white square thingys,
and the round cylindrical thingys).
3. Very small package size (size does matter, just not in a linear
fashion).

If you paid more than $20, it's a rip-off.

It looks similar to the insides of a Coustic 'booster' amp I helped a friend
install many moons ago.

It says it's a 50W amp, 25W per channel. It don't think it said the
RMS value anywhere. It's an Optimus (Radio Shack) XL-50. I paid $8
for it on Ebay. I will know better next time.

When I do get my next amp (which will probably be a Profile Clarus or
a US Acoustics) I will open it up and post pictures of it.

I once had a customer bring in a counterfeit Pioneer amp, it was labeled
like a Pioneer, but didn't look like one, nor was the model number correct
for anything Pioneer ever made. It had a PCB like that in it, two fuse
holders with 30A fuses that weren't even connected to the pcb, and a lead
weight attached to the bottom panel to make it feel heavy- can you say
rip-off...

$8 isn't bad. Mount it in a hard drive bay of your computer so it can
drive bookshelf speakers.
