Frequently Asked Questions

• Why wouldn’t you provide the basic specs–like size? Boggles the mind
  The dimension already shown on the product listing, which is 214mm x 250mm x 44mm (WxDxH) By West Port Premium Audio

• How many speakers will it support?
  A pair of speaker at 4 or 8 ohms

• How many speakers can amplification support?
  The majority of amplifiers can handle a load of two speakers. A passenger on a small motorcycle is similar: adding another passenger doubles the burden the vehicle must carry, although most motorcycles can handle two passengers. Adding more than two speakers, on the other hand, will usually overwhelm the amplifier.

• What causes the amplifier to be silent?
  The speaker has blown out totally. The output transformer is either broken or open. The speaker jack is incorrectly connected. The speaker wire has degraded, or the jacks have corroded to the point of no longer being able to create a suitable connection.

• What characteristics distinguish an excellent stereo amplifier?
  What you’re looking for is an amplifier that will reduce or eliminate background noise. This way, you’ll hear all of the music but none of the background noise. Checking an amp’s signal to noise ratio will give you a better idea of how well it will perform in this area.
