I 've purchased the 50W version and I 've installed it into a tractor which had a broken, worn-out 1 DIN slot and it works good. To connect it to the speakers, I 've bought a set of female ISO connectors. It 's switched by the ignition key and from the potentiometer, if you want to turn it off.
You need 24V 5A+ to fully power your speaker properly. Read the discription.
Is it safe to run zk 1002 with 24v 8A adapter? Does it get really hot or burn out? Just running some 6in standard speakers.
@@w3eonline That will be fine for the amp, it's a 2x100W model so your supply can't even max it out.
You could also use a 24V 100A supply if you want, doesn't really matter, the amp only pulls as much current as the speaker can consume at the set volume with the given voltage (more voltage = more potential power!). It's all good as long as the supply voltage isn't to high for the amp and the power supplys max power rating is greater than the combined speakers max power rating, so you don't overload the power supply and burn it out.
@@vatterger thanks for the information. Now im getting power supply 24v 20A fan type paired the zk1002 amp and speaker 6ohm max 80watts.
@@vatterger
Can this amplifier play 160w*2 sony speakers in normal volume…?
@@syedpak9549 Yes, probably. 30% is already crazy loud with my old, medium sized stereo speakers. I don't know your Speaker model, so i can't say for sure (The impedance should be matched! This is more important than the max power of the speakers!). One word of caution though: The bluetooth connection on this amp is open for any device, this means anyone who is near you can connect to it, even while you are listening. What is most infuriating is, that the new device will always be prioritized when it first connects, so you will be kicked off your own amp, which will drive you crazy! Better get a model with a pairing button to avoid this mess. You will be very very very annoyed with this amp if you have just one malicious device or person with a phone near you.
The speakers make that screech sound when you change volume because of you power supply.
I had a 12v 2A and it made that sound so I switched to 24v 6A an it works BRILLIANTLY!!! Just buy a higher power PS. It’s quite a common problem with small amps like this.
The power supply is exactly 24V 6A.. so it must be something else..
one problem i noticed with the ZK-1002L is that the speaker gets pushed when you change volume, like a DC offset.
i recommend using 24V to get the most out of these too
people say they use the laptop supply what do they mean? like they do usb to the provided plug or charger of the laptop?
@@jaredvaz2450 when they say a laptop supply they mean one with a "5.5mm barrel jack"
@@BH4x0r Ahh Kay thanks man i really needed this reply cus I was confused how people get 19v out of a USB port on a laptop💀 so that means the dc input plug supplied is basically useless right?
I put it in the speaker of my UTV can am x3 and it is showing a lot of noise in the bass at 14v. There are 2 160w 4ohm speakers. What can it be ?
@@fernandopasini6350 too low voltage, i'd recommend a boost converter rated 10A that you can adjust up to 24V, you'll obviously need a volt meter for that (if you don't have that)
Well first of all, if you want more volume you need a power supply that outputs 24v dc (at max) because these TPA3116 provide little power when powered by 12v power supply. Second, you need to check if the circuit have a NE5532 as a pre-amp in the input stage of the aux input (analog input) this helps when using low volume sources, as a smartphone headphone output.
Another channel did a spectrum analysis of this board showing it drops off quickly on the higher frequencies. Also something i noticed myself and is really annoying and i havent seen anyone mention this is that the board seems to have circuitry that cuts the power when the input audio signal (bluetooth) is below a certain threshold. Seems like a smart feature only it takes some time for it to switch back on so you cant use this to watch movies or anything as you'll miss half the dialogue in quiet sections.. very much unusable!
i need to test that, i'll hook it up to my oscope one day, both on BT and Aux, because that could be because of the bluetooth chip
about the turn-off, i would recommend using an aux cable for music either way as bluetooth can introduce severe latency
i do have the 2x TPA3116 version though (100W bridge x2)
Wow is it true?. This must be so annoying, this makes bt unusable!
I just bought one. It comes tomorrow. Going to connect it to some outdoor speakers. I will find a weather proof container for it. Maybe a kitchen container?
so what happened? are they good?
Exiled in the Path of Exile Yes. It’s a good amp. I ended up putting the amp under one of the speakers to keep it out of the weather. The speakers are the type that look like rocks so there was room. I plugged the amp into a smart plug outlet. When I lower it up with my phone it automatically connects and is ready to play music. Sound great. Best for the price.
Thanks for the review.
I wish you would have said a bit more about your line source when testing the AUX. Granted, this is a product intended to be built into a passive speaker to turn into an active one, and I guess one would mostly want to use BlueTooth, but I think once you've got the amp hardware, it's kinda stupid not to also equip it with a dirt-cheap analog connection that could come in handy some day.
Maybe you could measure the signal when testing the line-in... line level is supposed to be up to 5V, and if they tuned it to allow max gain at that input level without clipping, some sources may simply be impossible to get decent volume from (like if their output level is only 1V). Maybe try the headphone output from a cell phone (if you've still got a headphone jack!) and make sure the volume on the phone is cranked up to the max...
I bet it sounds alot better on some aftermarket brand 4ohms speakers
You are absolutely spot on. I'm using it with a couple of 4ohm speakers and the sound is loud and clear irrespective of the connection - both Bluetooth and aux imput produce a loud and good quality sound.
@@alexanderkrupin5669 what power supply did you use? Volts/amps/watts?
I have 35w 4ohm speakers with a peak of 300w
your using a phone, the output of a phone is not loud enough to make the amp play max or louder when the amp has a normal high gain (how high the gain is from lowest volume to max you can turn it up)
inbuilt bluetooth, it needs a 24V psu
I have owned both the 2.0 and 2.1 version with the tpa3116 from wuzhi. From my experience with both of the amps i would probaly only recommende the 2.1 version. The 2.0 did not sound great, and was overall just worst. The 2.1 is great for a pair off speaker under 200 dollar. The watt rating is obvious fake, are probaly alot lower. For me when is switch between powersupplys with different wattage the overall loudness didnt change. A power supply with 20-50 watt will be great, and a 18-24V Are also great. I use a Harmon kardon dc power supply that is rated 19V, and 2A (38W) and the 2.1 version was able to run the most unefficent speakers to such high volums that it damage my ears. So it plays really loud! Great buy for a lower to entry level setup, no noise and high watt output.
Very usefull thanks you for that, so you d'ont recommand the 502MT or 502T but the ZK-MT21 or a ZK-BT21 (It use the TPA3116D2 x2 in 2.1) ?
The 2.0 version sound ok, but not great. It sounded bad while connected through Bluetooth, and when wired it was ok. The 2.1 on another hand is pretty decent. Most people that buy their first set of speakers will be happy with it, my brother who used it right now seems to be happy with it and dont seem to want to replace it any time soon. Its has no buzz sound, sound decent and the Bluetooth sound dont sound noticeble worse then wired. For the money its hard to get any better. So if you where to use it with cheap speakers(under 150 euro/dollar) then its a great combo. The 2.0 its not worth it, its pretty trash and sounds like a 10 dollar amp.
@@EnzoE No, i dont recommend the 502MT or 502T
@@jacopgrahn7286 Okay i see it's nice to know, i thinks this is gonna help some ppl like me searching about those tings, i will be surely go on the ZK-MT21 with your recommendation for the TPA3116D2 in 2.1, again thanks you for your knownledge, sorry if my English is bad i try to not use Google Traductor and it's maybe not a very good idea x)
hello, I have this amp but I have a battery that develops 28.8 v. Do you think I can use this battery? Won't that damage the amp? thank you

I have the 100 W x 2 version of this, the Wuzhi Audio ZK-1002L. I don't know how much true power in watts the 50 x 2 model produces, but the 100 x 2 model was recently dyno tested at 24V to produce about 80-85 watts before clipping to each stereo channel. See my comment below in response to Hadian Dacuan about what I built over a year ago, and how i use it. For those interested in projects.
And these are true, real world RMS wattage figures, which is insane for such a small chassis, only showing how technology has improved with these little Chinese class D amplifiers. These Wuzhi units utilize the 3116 chip(s), and are quite capable. While they dont have the dynamic headroom of larger, Class A, or A/B amplifiers, they are very efficient, don't generate a lot of heat, and are quite inexpensive in terms of watts for your dollar.
@@ericvillano5729 Any idea what is the THD number on this amp? Thanks
You must use an adequate power supply. For 50watt 2 channels, you need for a 24volt 120watt powersupply. So it is 24v 5ampere.
do you have to use the knob to adjust the volume or you can control it via BT? thx for the reply
I have same but 2x100w version
If you warnt more Bass then try the model ZK-502T it already hes Too moch Bass but you can adjust it better than that HX-M567
How many ohm and watt for each recommend? And what the hifi compo speaker required
i have this one too.. but i used 24v 10a for powersupply.
Hi may i ask which brand/model ? thanks, gino
Sir Mediatech Learning, does your bt device make buzzing noise in your speaker too? Why is my bt also has buzzing noise. Is it normal?
@Aditya Kashyap yes, i i knew it someone said it depends on power supply. I used 12V and 5A power supply
@Aditya Kashyap i do not have
I just ordered him, Im exited 🙂
What of I connect a 200mm 8ohm woofer as subwoofer in a sealed box. In my car? 3 fuses, 1st in + battery 12v, 2nd between an on/off switch and a volt booster from 12v to 24v, and the 3rd from volt booster and tpa3116d2 100w2 2 Channel (no mono output). What of i connect this woofer in One of Two channels? My piooner x3500ui has a pre out where i connect the woofer amplified by this tpa3116d2 and this radio has lpf built in software i think.
can you use the aux input and bluetooth interchangeably or do you need to unplug the aux input cable before using bluetooth?
Is there annoying beeping sound when you power it on?
I really really really hate that loud sound.
In my experience, it does not: it only makes a sound when you connect a bluetooth device to it.
Hi!
I have TPA3116 on similar board and with just the same potentiometer knobs, just with additional tone controls (Bass and Treble).
I bought some small plastic enclosure for that amplifier but those pot-knobs are somehow too tight so I am affraid I will break something if I use excessive force to remove those.. Am I doing some mistake? I used to remove similar caps, but I never had such problem. Is there any trick to take off those caps?
Maybe the aux needs a preamp.
No, only full volume in the phone + switch of Dolby, equaliser etc... Working with me + have got 2x100W tooo and loud enough
Using 19,8V 90W Dell power supply
@@tycantache7138 I concur.
something wrong with the aux connector ?
We’re those monitors powered off the amp board only? Or were those monitors also self powered monitors?
Hi, I didn't get a power cable with mine, and all the PSU I try don't fit, what kind of plug do I need to make it fit in there??? Thanks in advance
Hi was trying to connect these directly fo my car speaker so 12v but it works only when i’m touching the contact under the amp. What am i missing?
The Bluetooth wont connect reliably on the one I got.
Make a review for the 100x2 version
I bought one of the 100w x 2 versions, the Wuzhi Audio ZK-1002L. I assembled it, built a .5 cubic foot 3/4" MDF box, fitted it with a pair of old Jensen 6.5" coaxial car speakers, and mounted it on top of the box, along with a 4.74A 19V DC power supply adapter with hot glue. Used an old leather belt to mount to the box as a carry strap. Quite frankly, it sounds like God!
I built this for my wife, who wanted a portable bluetooth speaker that she could carry around with her anywhere, and plug into a 110V receptacle. She craved something that sounded better than the junk bluetooth speakers they sell in stores, which we bought several of, that were all pathetic. They lack bass, true stereo sound, and an appreciable loudness. With this speaker, the bass is decent, and tight, the flawless sound quality is nothing short of excellent, and the volume levels are enough to fill a large room, or even an outdoor party in the 1 acre backyard.
Total investment: (Not including the speakers I had laying around the garage, and the particle board, glue and screws I had in my workshop.) - About $16.00 USD
A little over $8.00 for the amplifier, and a little less than $8.00 for the DC power supply adapter. All purchased on Aliexpress.
@@ericvillano5729 yours didn't distort when you turned it up? Mine does and I don't know if or how you can fix it
@@ch3ncerpau148 No problems with any distortion. Even at full volume.
@@ch3ncerpau148 you probably have to use a stronger voltage power supply
@@ch3ncerpau148 use around 24v, it'll get as loud on 12v till a certain point and then it will start to distort on 12v, but not on 24.
Can this device be connected to a smart TV with external speakers attached ?
Hei how many Amps this support I have an old hp 65W adaptor 18.5V 3.5A, can this burn the circuit, or I would be safer with 9V 1A as I only want to use it on 15W 4ohm RMS speaker
Thanks help full.
What do you think it good or not?

How many volts did you power me with?
whats speakers characteristics?
I have also this bluetooth module but it makes buzzing sounds on my speaker? Anyone experience with this problem?
Are you utilizing a switch mode or linear power supply? Switch mode units are not recommend for audio equipment because of the noise interface of their operation. Try different power supplies. If you suspect the amplifier itself is carrying the noise try using a battery. If you do so & sill have the noise issue, then it's the amplifier itself.
@@Rudofaux yeah, somebody said it depends on power supplies I used 9V 2A only that is why my bt device creats a buzz noise. Thanks for the info
@@adrianestanislao926 also dont leave the amp volume on max, thats when you get BT noises.
How about one 3"inch only it's ok. Or not
NOT 5.0 Bluetooth !! its fake chip! only 2.1. Original chip Qualcomm - it looks different!
hi ! how can i add a subwoofer? thank you
my power supply will be a 10.8-12.6V (3s) battery
my bms can provide up to 10A
is that enough for 30W+30W?
my speakers are 14Ω and they draw less power naturaly, Im afraid I wont be able to get 30+30 with the 10.8V
my battery pack has 6 batteries and I can change the BMS-configuration to get 22V if its realy needed
Do the speakers need to be powered or does the amp power them?
The amp does the work. That's the nature of all amplifiers.
I don’t know a lot about wiring/ electrics so the may not make sense. For me 1 speaker has Red& Black wires for the subwoofer and Blue& Brown wires for the tweeter. How do I go about wiring this one speaker to the the amp? Then wiring another speaker additionally?
this is a 2 channel amp, no bass/woofer channel.
just parallel the subwoofer and tweeter
Block power? Watt?
From where did you buy this?
Do you connect 4 of that speaker boxes or just 2? What is rating of your power supply?
No only this two in centre. One left one right. Power supply is 24V 3A
@@als-techreview thanks ,but 3 ampere is sufficient for this?
@@GurnamSinghchannel 24 volts x 3 amps = 72 watts, which is more power than this amplifier needs to achieve its advertised 50 watts

Can you update me with this? I also have 3ohm speakers from sony home theater
@@als-techreview
Worked?
the 2x 100W version actually supports down to 2 Ohm per channel, the 2x 50W does not
you will severely underpower the speakers though (which isn't bad but wont get anywhere near as loud as it could)
Just bought 1 it looks so much smaller in the pictures lol
that look like a sony speaker ?

sure.. 👍 it should work with no problem 12 or 15V DC.
Ay mesin tar daam koto
Power supply specs. Recommended. Range of power.
its recommended to run it at 24v and 3amps to get the full power
the amps are not that important if you are limited by the voltage, if you run 8Ωhm speakers a 24 or 18V PSU might give you up to double the power compared to a 12V
you can use an old laptop charger if you can find one, they are usualy 18V and they provide at least 3-5A
Can the channels be bridged?
get 2x 100W model, it has 2 bridged ones
What was the source of power ? Charger ? Please confirm I wanted to make a bluetooth speaker
The input voltage is 9-24V. I bought a cable from Banggood that converts 5V USB to 12V 5.5x2.1mm and it works fine with a 2.1A or 1A USB charger (as long as you don't want more than 5/10.5 watts of power output!)
@@nickbrown2976 usually at lower Vsupply performance are worse ... i would stick with 24V/5A ... or at least use one laptop power supply like 90W model. They usually have 18-20V at the output.

you should be fine with most amplifiers as long as you stay over 4 ohm
