perfect for 2.1 audio from the computer
I tried many audio solutions for my pc, and wanted to run my passive sony speakers (SSCS5) and a passive subwoofer from my old home theatre setup. This ticked all the boxes and sounds great. It is extremely loud for its size too, so much so that I find myself usually using it at about 20% volume or less. The subwoofer frequency crossover knob is great and reminds me of much more expensive amps, and the overall sound is pretty solid for this price range. I tried other similar amps and this one stood out as the best quality to me. My setup uses RCA to 3.5mm because I didn't want any bluetooth audio delay while gaming. I also ended up needing to get a ground loop isolator to prevent the computer noises this amp was amplifying along with the audio signal, but that isn't Dayton Audio's fault, but rather my own homes power being dirty. The bluetooth quality seems high as well, though as I mentioned before, it presents a slight lag while gaming, which doesn't work for me. For music, though, it sounded just fine. Definitely recommended over the cheaper alternatives- save yourself a little time and just go for this one if you have a passive speaker setup like me, I tried a whole bunch of them!

The Class D Technology, Sounds Great!
The media could not be loaded. I've been using Dayton Audio products for over 10 years. The amplifier was paired to a high-end $1,800 gaming laptop via AUX and connected to the Klipsch Reference R-50M speakers and the Dayton Audio Ultimax UM12-22 subwoofer.The power supply that comes with the amplifier is rated at 24VDC at 4.0A. That means the power supply has a power output capacity of 96 watts. If you want exactly 100 watts, I'd recommend replacing the power supply that can output more current. You will destroy the amplifier if the voltage is higher than 24VDC since the amplifier does not have a protection mode. It is not stable at 1-2 ohm. It is also not bridgeable as well but that doesn't make it a bad amplifier.Overall, this is a great amplifier for anybody looking into a 2.1 sound system.

The best I've had n Class D amplifiers
I have had a pair of Dayton speakers in my shop for 10 years. They are pretty good kit for the price, and I've driven them with a few different amps. I recently changed my set-up, and I wanted an amp that would provide for some AUX inputs and also be Bluetooth capable. That wasn't so easy to find - many of the amps out there have none of that and are simply serial rebrandings of the same amplifier that features karaoke mic inputs.This amp fills the bill for that and I was happy to find it by Dayton. I appreciate that the Bluetooth is capable of HD connectivity. I connect my DAP via Bluetooth LDAC. Works wonderfully and has a great range.Having two AUX inputs allows me to connect a radio dedicated to FM and FM HD, and another radio that is dedicated to AMThis amp has a subwoofer output that I am not likely to use. It has a single tone knob and no balance provision.I think I'd trade the subwoofer level and crossover knobs for a balance knob and separate bass and treble knobs. Those functions seemed so obvious that I had to drop a star for the lack of them.That said, the performance of this amp is the best I've had in a compact, relatively inexpensive Class D amplifier.

Little package, Big power
The dayton audio dta2.1bt is a very powerful, very compact unit. I currently have it hooked up to two onkyo bookshelf speakers and an onkyo 200w passive subwoofer. I wasnt expecting much from the 100w subwoofer channel on this amp but it actually shocked me with how loud it was able to get the subwoofer and how clean the sound is even with the volume knob on full gain. The crossover frequency adjustment is also very nice. I have mine set at around 80hz because the bookshelf speakers have very good midrange response, however, raising the crossover to 120hz allows for higher mids and punchier bass if people decide to use smaller satellite style speakers. At around 60-80hz is where i like my crossovers set and it performs very well with notes in that frequency and even lower. The speakers are rated higher than this dayton can push and that being said, there is no distortion i can hear from it even at full volume on very demanding tracks. Awesome unit, easy interface and Bluetooth connectivity, the tone knob accentuates high frequency levels without being too harsh. Very nice unit, i love the all metal frame on it and can tell itll help dissipate heat (even though it did not get even remotely hot after 30 minutes of full volume action).
