There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Now that is out the way, my suggestion is people to evaluate what they need this amp for. For high end home theater? Certainly NOT. However to power multiple speakers in a home or business for 'Fill' music. Not a problem.
All 8 channels in my amp are being used to power my whole home music. Channel 1/2 power the bathroom speakers (6.5inches), 3/4 power both the speakers in the foyer and kitchen[6.5 inches] (I used piggy back banana plugs), 5/6 power speakers in the Great room (8inches) and 7/8 each power a 10inch in ceiling subwoofer (one in the kitchen and the other in the great room). It does it effortlessly and without problems.
I purchased my amp used from Amazon warehouse deals for $171, which is a steal. Still came with the warranty but did have a few scratches on the rack mount system. Since I was installing this in a dedicated music cabinet, the scratches weren't a problem. Unit works well.
Cons
Trigger does not work as it should. I have never been able to get the input trigger to receive signal from my Denon x4000. Checked the settings etc. The denon can signal other devices, just not this one. Since my amp is out of reach, I used a WEMO wifi outlet. That way I can use my phone to power on/off the amp. (I can be lazy).
This is not an amplifier for Audiophiles. It will not provide clean, tight power but it will give you adequate sound and be reliable.
The lights in the front are quite bright but as mine is out of sight, it doesn't bother me. Plus I prefer to see the Spectrum lights to determine if I'm clipping or not.
The Denon x4000 has 3 zone capability therefore I can listen to one source in the bathroom, another source throughout the house and watch a movie in 7.1 in the Man cave. The 8 channel amp handles everything outside the Man Cave and the Denon handles the Man Cave speakers.
I ran all the wires through the attic and connected in-wall volume control components so I can adjust the volume independently for each room even though I can just use my phone to adjust the volume also. (This is more a feature of the Denon rather than the Pyle.)
The Amp does come with a fan but it's best to put it in a well ventilated area and/or install a a/v fan.
I've ran this playing music throughout the day and night and it runs without problems. Pair it will pyle in-wall speakers and it will give you decent whole home music. Nothing spectacular but definitely adequate.
Highly recommend it. Any questions, feel free to ask away.

Good Evening Abraham,
I have been unable to get a standing issue I have had with the Pyle PT8000CH amplifier that I purchased back in December 2012. I have attached the record of my attempts to get my issue resolved with DDD . He suggested that I email you in order to get my issue resolved.
I am looking for assistance in getting the functionality of 12V DC remote on to work as it was outlined in the user manual that came with the unit. As I understand it DDD does not have the power to either correct the issue, replace the unit with one that works, or refund my purchase. I would like to make at least one last attempt to get my issue resolved internally by your company.
Please respond at your earliest convenience with any additional aide you can offer in this frustrating situation.
Thanks,
XXX

From what I'm hearing the new unit I was anticipating is unable to be done, so the unit will remain as is. The manuals and the specs have already been modified to show the changes. I would suggest you email AAA@soundaroundusa.com as he has been handling these models. I apologize for not being able to do more for you in this situation. If I can be of any further assistance please let me know.

DDD ,
I understand and appreciate what you have done for me and to the extent that you can personally fix my issue. But to be fair your product does not do what your company claimed it would do with the included documentation. A few emails back it was said that the new version was in the works to fix this issue. Is swapping for the new model going to be a possibility or am I going to have to be refered to someone else in the company to resolve my issue.

Hi DDD ,
Thanks for the follow up. The datasheet link you sent me does not show any internal schematics from Speakercrafts model. While I do not mind doing the modifications to the unit here as opposed to shipping it back, I do not think that I as the consumer should be footing the bill for the missing components for a feature that should have been included with the unit. If the solution is for me to do the modification here I will need the required components shipped to me and detailed instructions on how you want me to precede with the modification. Else wise I will need you to take this unit back and refund my purchase at the expense of your company since this troubleshooting has fallen outside the window of return for amazon.com
Thanks,

The model it was modeled from is made by speakercraft attached is a link to their website and the second link should be to an internal schematic you may be able to acquire the 12 volt trigger component from them directly.

It's been a while since I have last heard from you. Do you have any good news for me yet? Last I heard you said that Frank was looking into parts from another unit to see if we could come up with a solution. We are starting to have the kind of weather that I like to go outside and enjoy on my back deck and this feature is becoming more and more important so I don't have to run back inside to turn on and off my amplifier every time I want to use it.

We have not been successful in locating a older unit with that board built into it, if I had a earlier schematic on file I would send you a reference as to what components it was, but this particular factory is not very forthcoming in providing us anything in addition to the amplifier it self.
I will update you if anything changes, I have halted future orders until this is implemented on the new units, so hopefully this will grab their attention and get the input we need sooner, so they can continue to supply us this model.

We are getting no where with the factory. I had my repair department go in and try to offer a work around or modification, however whatever board or chip set the factory was using originally is not even present in my current stock. I dont have access to any of the old stock units that I know worked, I have my repair dept and LA warehouse trying to go through to find old stock to at minimum source you the board to get that feature working. I will email you to keep you posted and hopefuly request you shipping info to send you parts and basic instructions to get you going.

Please email me back if you need further information and I will get it as soon as I can for you.
Thanks,

Hi my name is XXX and I have been working over the past few weeks with DDD to resolve an issue with my newly purchased Pyle PT8000CH. I have left multiple voicemails and the technical support department is exceedingly difficult to reach via phone. When I do reach someone other than DDD they do not attempt to resolve my issue and transfer me to DDD k's voicemail. I have been told that DDD will be out of the office until Jan 14th but he does have email access while he is out of the office. I was told to send an email to this address and should receive a prompt response from him.
I am emailing in regard to an issue surrounding the 12v DC trigger function of the amplifier I purchased. I have a 12V signal that is provided by my Denon AVR3311CI receiver that I am attempting to turn on the Pyle PT8000CH amplifier with. The first solution that DDD provided me with was instructions for making a proper adapter since the terminal ends on both pieces of equipment were different. I have attempted to trigger the Pyle amplifier with the 13.3 volts provided by the Denon with no results. On the Pyle amplifier I have tried all 3 power selection modes; AC 12V-15V, AC/DC 12V-15V, and DC 12V-15V. None of the modes work and that switch varies greatly from what is provided in the manual. After a few days of trying to reach DDD via phone I was able to get further instruction from DDD at 4:55pm on 1/2/13. He was unsure why the power selection switch did not work as intended and instructed me to force a common ground on the 12V trigger signal that my Denon was sending the Pyle. I told him that I would get back with him the next day but I still have not been able to reach him or get a response from him since the last time I spoke with him. I am emailing to get further assistance on this issue so I can determine if my unit is defective and figure out the best next course of action before my purchase grace period runs out from Amazon.
Thanks,
XXX

Its got nice power per channel.
Inexpensive and worth value
Although covered under warranty, this company has no local repair shop, and insists that I ship it to/from their Brooklyn, NY warehouse AT MY EXPENSE… BOTH WAYS - REGULAR POST $155, EXPRESSPOST (WITH TRACKING AND INSURANCE) $230!!! EACH WAY!!!
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY AS THEIR PRODUCTS ARE GARBAGE AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TOO!
IT WOULD BE LESS EXPENSIVE TO BUY A NEW UNIT.
SERIOUSLY… WTF.
Hate just about everything about it. I was drawn in by the promise of an inexpensive power amp that would perform as advertised. BIG MISTAKE.
Watch the video and tell me if you can understand what is happening with the level meter… and why they chose to have 4 instead of 8 is beyond me.
One of the RCA inputs fell apart (literally came apart as I pulled out an RCA cable… I’ve NEVER seen this happen before on any piece of equipment.
The amplifier makes clicking noises that I can’t explain.
It has powerful fans that make a LOT of noise, so much so that they are quite distracting when music/sound levels aren’t loud enough to drown it out.
BE CAREFUL WITH CONNECTION: this will need it’s own outlet as it draws 1000 watts.
8000 watt output? Nope. Not even close to that. It doesn’t drive my Polk RTiA9’s much more than my Onkyo AVR did.
Verdict: don’t bother. Anybody else have any other suggestions, let me know.

I purchased this to power 2 Clark Silver transducers in series (8 ohm load) and one Clark Platinum transducer (4 ohm) as well as two Atmos ceiling speakers (8 ohms each). The amplifier is very versatile with hook up configurations. I've only done a brief test to set levels for each of the channels and it seems to be up to the task, but only long term testing will tell. I don't believe it will power anywhere near the claimed 1000W per channel, 100-120W RMS per channel would probably be closer. After testing, the amplifier and all of the AV gear had to be removed from my home theater room to allow for carpet installation. I'll be reinstalling and hooking everything up in a couple weeks and will update the review after a month or two of use.
