$10 Subwoofer Amplifier? TPA3116 Amp Dyno Test

A few years ago, I tested several inexpensive amps bought off eBay and found there were crazy claims made with unimpressive results. Recently, I've noticed a new batch of inexpensive amp boards, yet this time with more reasonable claims. I've purchased several amps I'll be testing in upcoming videos, but first up is the $10 TPA3116 mono subwoofer amplifier. Yes, I said $10...including shipping! This amp is rated to deliver 100 watts to a 2 ohm subwoofer. You know how we roll, let's see what this amp is all about!

I agree, perfect little amps for home made boomboxes or even for retrofitting into old boomboxes. Again, main issue is 24 volts, but you could get by with 12 volts if you don't need as much power. Pretty cool they can handle such a wide range of input voltages

I've been watching another RU-vidr JohnAudioTech test these little amps for a while and have not seen him do the TPA3116 amps yet and I love playing with unique amps, so I decided to pick up a few. I must say, the 2.1 models seem to be a perfect match for a custom boombox. This one I tested here would power a 6.5 or maybe 8" sub well for a small room.

got this thing together with a splitted one for my ~ 200W 2.1 system. did build it with some high end high and mid range speakers and a 150W RMS Kevlar Subwoofer ... at just 1/5 of bass my neighbors going berserk on me. system in total cost me around 120$ (100$ for speakers, 20$ for the 2.1 amp). and BTW I got some high end system from Logitech and Bose, both around 200-300$ but my self made system is still my favorite one. only minus is that its slightly hissing when no audio is plugged in. but that's the only thing

I bought 6 or 7 of them, many were the 2.1 models (rated 50x2 and 100x1). Some were RCA input only, others were 1/8" input only and a couple are BT only. I've noticed the BT models have noise issues. I guess it should be expected for a $15 amp rated 50x2 and 100x1 with built-in Bluetooth module! I'm going to probably compare the similar amps, will test them all, but most likely not individual videos. I guess it really depends on the popularity of the videos and how many people want to see these amps.

Another great video! Thank you for testing such a wide variety of amplifiers. The ratings on these amps are based on the heat they dissipate -- not the power they produce. If you can squeeze 50% of the rated power out of these then you have a quality amp.

It sure appears that way by the specs of the chips, but the sellers are advertising them in a way that would make the consumer think these are the actual wattage output. Either way, now we know the truth

Yo BigD, nice video as usual, hope you'll get around to doing some more cheap stuff videos. It's great seeing the cheap stuff getting so close to rated power. Someone asked about running it on batteries, I got something like that going in a salvaged parts project, but while it makes a lot of noise, its quality is laughable, all reused broken parts. I would make a video but I higly doubt anyone would be interested. You said something about retiring in a comment response, are you that old? you don't seem like it, maybe you were talking about the later future and I misunderstood. Anyway, cheers and keep making great videos for as long as you can, you're doing a great job!

Did some tests on a TPA3116D2 sub amp. 2 ohm non inductive load 24 volts supply they will do just 100 watts at around 1% THD. Problem is the inductors on most of these Chinese amps just aren't up to the task well among other things. The TPA3116D2 chip itself can do the business if you can find a decent board. The way the batteries in this test were wired together would have caused a voltage drop, I mean stuffing wires in holes is not really a good connection.

Given that "TDA" is a common prefix on other amplifier ICs, it's likely that "TDA3116" refers to the actual IC (as indicated on the silkscreen on the PCB), and TPA3116 refers to the whole module (or may have been a misprint.)

The input limit reaches 3v same as the tpa3118 full range mono. Phones or rca's cant fully drive it even if it is at the max voltage of 26v. Unless your stereo can push more than 500mv on plugs. I have one tpa3116d2 full range stereo amplifier with signal booster that I modified to no hizz, for my homemade Bluetooth speaker with a dewalt battery and Bluetooth module and a dc-dc voltage booster 12-26V. Also I replaced my Yamaha amplifier with 2 TPA3118 mono block boards dc-dc voltage booster 12-24V driving 2 shelf book speakers sharp CP-C3900 150Wrms and they thump... Happy with both systems.

Some TPA3116 mono specs: Power output (w/ 21 VDC power supply): 100W x 1 (2 ohms, THD 10%), 87W x 1 (2 ohms, THD 1%) pretty close to me.

Thanks for testing these! I was thinking about building a bluetooth ottoman, looks like 36v and a "50+50+100watt" will push mids, tweets, and a dedicated sub very well! what was the draw at 24v?
@wal
@wal 7 лет назад
+Chris Lesmerises most of the TPA3116 based 2.1 amps want about 25v max (be careful as some have 25v caps, most should have 35v). Current draw on sub channel was around 4 amps at clipping

I know it's not quite apples to apples, but I'm looking at a 36 volt 2.1 Bluetooth board :) Thank you for keeping notes, you've surely saved me an R&D revision, at the least, saved me some test parts!

+Chris Lesmerises I just got a 32v version using the ST508 chip and is rated 80x2 and 160x1. I bought about 7 different models of the amp boards. Most were TPA3116, but a few were different. I've noticed the BT models are a bit noisy. There are mods to lower the input gain. Still amazes me what you can get for so little $$ 🤔

Hey Big D Wiz . Love the show. But I was wondering have you ever had any Sherwood amps on the dyno ? Now that's a old school amp
@wal
@wal 7 лет назад
I have not yet, but those were budget amps and most likely right at or just below rated.
@garybrookins2496
@garybrookins2496 7 лет назад
Yeah I remember them. I had a neighbor that had two 240 watt Sherwood amps on two Cerwin Vega 12 in. subs

can you test the cheapo IRFB23N20D based amps off of ebay? they're a bit pricier at around 30 bucks each but would be interesting to see performance, they claim 500W

Hey Big D! I'd love to see a Dyno test of the Tripath TK2050, supposed to push 50w two channels. Also, peaking on it doesn't sound harsh, while the TPA3116 sounds terrible. Just my observation.

I put a small amp like this in my logitech sub when its board went bad. And it would overheat when the volume was too loud so I put the little amp in the speaker's port so air would blow over the heatsink XD and that actually solved the problem lol

Would it be wise to use a 20v 4.5 amp power supply for this amp for home use? What do you recommend?
@SoXDYTB
@SoXDYTB 5 лет назад
this is great , but if u want the maximum power just use a power supply that can do 26v 10A and you will not have any problem

Yes, but they require expensive power supplies. At that point you’d do better getting a plate amp
