G2 PRO TPA3255 Hi-Fi 300W Subwoofer Power Amplifier Mono Channel Class D SUB Audio Amp

I only have only logged a few hours of listening so far but that may be ample for leaving my preliminary thoughts. Also, unlike most who seem to be buying this as a mono amp for subwoofer amplification, my intent was to buy two of these for use as mono amps for stereo left and right channels. I’ve always been curious about the benefits of mono amps for stereo and these amps provide an inexpensive way to experience that.These amps add to my ongoing collection of high value, surprising performance Chinese high fidelity products. I have come to expect performance beyond price and these mono amps follow through. The general build, the switches, and the connectors are all quality. Setup was easy and was up and running in less than 10 minutes. I simply connected my Bluetooth DAC, an FX Audio X6 and another high value component, to my vintage tube preamp, then the left output on the preamp going to the left input on one mono amp and the right output going to the right input on the other. After connecting my speakers, I set the mode on both amps to PBTL and I was ready to go. The preamp was likely not necessary but I thought it might be nice to add some tube warmth to the experience. At some point I may eliminate the preamp from the chain to evaluate the mono amps on their own.My first impression was that the sound was very midrange forward with good high end. Bass seemed to be very subdued which, given the bass capability of my Tekton Lore speakers, was noticeable. However, after about half an hour, the bass started to bloom. Perhaps needing time to warm up or charge capacitors, these amps were now sounding truly full range. Clarity, separation, and dynamics were all there. With just about 1/3 of the volume turned up, volume was room filling. Considering those speakers only need a watt or two to get going, these amps have way more power than needed, which brings me to my next point.I don’t know how Nobsound can call this a 300 watt amp and I believe they sacrifice credibility by promoting this spec. The power supply can only provide 160 watts and thats into a 4 ohm load. I’m not sure how that translates to 8 ohms but power is not a limitation for my purpose. Being class D topology, these amps can stay on for hours while feeling only slightly warm. I suspect I may only be getting closer to 100 watts out of these amps, which is still more than ample for my highly efficient speakers, especially since one amp is dedicated to the left channel and the other is dedicated to the right.These amps merit comparison with my class AB Aragon 200 watt amp from the 80s, despite how some may deride class D operation. I suspect the Aragon amp will seem somewhat more refined, perhaps warmer and fuller where the Nobsounds may be thinner, but that amp was many times more expensive and is very heavy. I am skeptical that it is that many more times higher in fidelity.At this early juncture, I am very pleased with these mono amps. Time will tell how well they hold up but other Chinese components I have have been problem free for the longer term. How these amps compare against vintage class AB gear will have to wait. I’m enjoying these mono amps too much on their own merits to spend time on such comparisons right now.Update 12/26/20: I have since bought a Nobsound 6p1 tube amp, also with positive results. While more expensive than a pair of G2 Pros, the 6p1 represents a great value in a true class A tube amp. Nevertheless, I decided to give the 6p1 a rest and hook the G2 Pros back up. Even compared to a hand wired class A tube amp, the G2 Pros still cane across as impressive and equally enjoyable. If anything, they seem more broken in than before and compelling through the full audio range. I continue to be impressed with Nobsound/Douk Audio products, both tube and solid state. I still have not A/B compared them with vintage or higher cost gear, but I think I would have to listen very critically to discern the differences.

I just revived an old and mediocre subwoofer (6-ohm, 120w RMS) that had its original built-in amp fried due to sudden high volume surge. Bought this small unit, G2 Pro, to turn a below average active sub (only with a single LFE input + volume control) into a fabulous passive sub with this G2 Pro functions as its external amp with precise cross-over control & volume to match the pairs of full-range desktop monitors. The sound is so easily balanced and tuned to the room size (12x12x10) which makes the whole thing sounds as if produced by much more expensive setup. Knowing the G2 Pro's real capacity is the key for its successful use.First of, its max power produced is restricted by the provided power supply at 32V5A = 160watts max. As the provided power supply implies, the max current is 5A for the internal circuit and components to operate safely. So, feeding it with a more powerful power supply will only make it run super hot then quickly dies.. may be taking along your other valuables in a house fire (not exaggerated).Use the provided power supply and stay within the following limits, you will enjoy it fully. Driving a 4-ohm sub, S2 Pro puts out 100 watts max (restricted by 5A max) For an 8-ohm sub, it sends out 160 watts max (restricted by 160w power supply) NEVER use any sub lower than 4 ohm since the spec says it does not support and can be dangerous.What I did was the following: 1- replace the original driver, 6-ohm/120 watts RMS, with a modern DVC 8x8 driver (80 watts RMS) wired for 4-ohm impedance 2- Connect the new driver directly to the S2 Pro speaker out L/R 3- drive the new driver with the volume dial at 12 o'clock on the S2 Pro (likely at 50 watts output) 4- Adjust the crossover to match the full range speakers to produce a balanced overall sounds for the room.I have had plenty of low end thumping on my chest and shakes everything in the room even with the volume dial at 12 o'clock. The bass is now much more defined with details, deep, and a lot tighter than the original. Notice that I only need about 50 watts out of its 100 watts max produced by the S2 Pro and also stay way below the driver power handling at 80 watts RMS. I have plenty of headroom to safely go even louder (can't think of why I want it louder unless I move this setup out to a bigger room). The unit is never felt warmer than my hand during its hours of operation.If you need something more powerful or believing that this is a 300-watt amp as advertised then better look else where but don't push the S2 Pro beyond its limits. It can be dangerous and you won't hear its fantastic low end I described above due to distortion.I am not associated with the seller or manufacturer. I bought this on my own and like it a lot. I think the potential users should know this product's real limits from real user in order to make sense out of the purchase. I think the company should put out more useful information. Despite of the above limitations, it is still a bargain for an excellent product to serve my purpose.

I bought this to power my Logitech Z2200 Subwoofer as the original controller for the plate amplifier was acting flaky. So I opened the subwoofer up and cut the wires to the Plate amplifier from the subwoofer. I installed binding posts in the back of the housing and ran the subwoofer wires to them. I ran the amp to the binding post. The Z2200 has an 8 inch long throw subwoofer in it. I used this amp to power it. It is overkill but it works great! The sub has never sounded better! Plenty of overhead. Very happy with the results. This amp has plenty of power for a bigger subwoofer! Easy to setup. It does not have Auto on and off. You have to flip the switch. Not a big deal in my situation but it might be for others. I am using a Fosi DA2120C and this amp for the subwoofer out. It is easy to set the gain and volume to match the speakers output. So you only have to set it to how much bass you want in your system. Works great!

Bought this monoblock amp to power an Alphasonik 10” dual voice coil sub for my bedroom media setup. I was running it in a vented car box I had modified with a 250 watt Dayton Audio plate amp that suddenly died after several years. Since the old vented car box couldn’t be reused, I bought a sealed box which is actually better for my application of listening to music, watching TV/movies and playing the Sega Genesis Mini. Very tight and accurate bass response. I have a Douk Audio M3 2.1 amplifier’s low level sub output feeding the Nobsound G2 Pro.The DVC sub is wired up for 8 ohms and it’s providing adequate power but I feel as though there should be a tad more volume to spare. There’s probably a way to wire this rig so the speaker is at 4 ohms but I haven’t investigated the possibility. That would increase the output significantly and the Nobsound G2 Pro is supposedly rated to handle 4 ohm loads.Overall it sounds really good after flipping the dip switches on the bottom for a little db boost and adjusting the sub frequency properly to match the other speakers. The volume gain on the amp is set nearly to the max. It’s certainly moving the sub easily with enough volume and the amp doesn’t feel unusually warm. Just slightly warm as one would expect.If it holds up for several years or more I’ll be happy with the purchase.

I see why so many people complain about this amp. It's not really a problem with the amp, its the source. I started off with a regular connection to a Sony STR receiver. The LFE output from that receiver is not adjustable via settings. So, first I tried the gain on the bottom of the amp. That helped some. Output levels were nowhere near what I wanted though, so I put an active crossover (cheap little Clarion EQS746, great little units) in front of the amp for +10db. That solved the level problem completely. There is very little rolloff even down to as little as 10hz.I am driving a single MTX Thunder 7500 10" DVC (400 watts RMS) wired as 4ohm. This amp can deliver exactly what it advertises and more when wired correctly. At 96d 10hz. input, about 2VRMS, this amp will extend the driver far and hard enough for it to clap the voice coil when it returns for each cycle. Based on that cue, electrically and mechanically speaking and without getting out a heap of test equipment to prove it, the peaks are easily 500 watts. Beware of that if you are driving a small woofer. This thing goes hard.I understand many reviewers here do not believe that the amp could possibly deliver over 300 watts RMS from a 160 watt power brick. I can explain. Audio is not a constant signal. If it were, your drivers would simply stand on the end of their travel until they burned out.I can say the brick draws approximately 6 watts when unplugged from the amplifier, which is what I would expect. It's very difficult to accurately measure the draw when the amp is in use, but I was able to log and average a typical listening session out to about 50 watts/hr.It sounds great. The low end is especially impressive for something that fits in your hand. You can buy this, or the Fosi V3 for more... for a subwoofer, you won't hear any difference in quality and I doubt there is much reason to suspect one is able to drive significantly harder than another. I have both now and I cannot tell a difference other than a need for additional gain at the source.

This subwoofer amp works fine. I got it to replace a blown plate amplifier in an older 12" subwoofer that use with my patio stereo. The package is nice because it will be easy to put away for winter months. However, by no measure is this amp 300W, which is obvious based on its size and lack of heatsinks etc (the thing it replaces weights about 25x as much). I would say it is 30W amp tops. For the price, it is fine even at this low power output depending on your application. For mine, it is so-so when coupled with my deck rock speakers; but good enough since I don't need the earth shaking on my deck.

I bought the version before since 2022 and it works great. Saw this newer model with more power but when I received it, it didn’t work had to return. Customer service was excellent no issues with refund

Like others, I had a Polk Audio 10" subwoofer that had an amplifier plate that stopped working. After some troubleshooting it was determined that the amplifier section was indeed dead. After some shopping around, I found out that replacement plate amplifiers were either too costly or back ordered from China.Not wanting to scrap the old subwoofer, I removed the old amplifier plate, sealed up the back with a painted piece of MDF, and installed speaker terminals. I now had a passive speaker.The new subwoofer amplifier was ordered and, on my doorstep, the following morning. It powers the Polk effortlessly. For me, I had no need to switch on the addition gain settings. It plays quite loud. Sonically, the music is much more detailed than the original. Bass it tight and much more controlled. No audible distortion. After a few hours of pure enjoyment, I reached up to feel the top of the amp to see how hot it was getting. Unit was hardly warm.Extremely happy with this item.

It works flawlessly. This little wonder box can easily push my 300w Morel sub driver (in a sealed box) without any issues. Perfect for my home audio solution. I'm running it with stock 32v/5a power supply. I'm keeping the gain settings to 36db (sw1 and sw2 'on' at the bottom plate). I don't have to go beyond 75% of the volume to reach room shaking punchy bass. Thank you Nobsound and Amazon.

First things first, this amplifier is tiny but it packs a hell of a punch. With it being no larger than a medium sized hand, you'd never think it'd be able to handle a subwoofer with as little as 2ohms without distorting or overheating. It surely can though.I received this amplifier as a gift, to be used with my passive bose subwoofer. It provides more than enough power at half volume and allows me to adjust the crossover which is perfect. The amplifiers frequency response is also very impressive, it is able to get produce very low bass without distorting or clipping. I also like the fact this can be used as a crossover with powered subwoofers too.I would definately recommend this amplifier. Utterly amazing for the price, it's compact, has great sound quality and looks stylish. Perfect for anyone looking to buy an amp to use with a powerful passive sub or adjust the crossover on an active sub, that's lacking crossover frequency controls.

i have a pair of older velodyne 12" powered subs - one of the plate amplifiers stopped working so instead of replacing the plate amp i tried this. it was simple to install and the sub sounds great again. i like that it has both sub and flat settings along with both a volume and filter range so you can tune it for your room or event better - musically it is great and you can add a depth that the subs did not seem to have before.

I am using this as a mono amp for a sub and it's exceeded my expectations. I've had it more than a year without issues.

muy buen producto
