If you don't need surround sound/decoding for a home theater and just need a 2.1 stereo system for the backyard with some bookshelf speakers, these two are definitely good contenders and they won't break the bank. Save your money for better speakers.

Clean sound, compact and well built with L/R jacks and Bluetooth if you want to use that.  I stick with these because they don't get hot like some of the other models.

I’ve got a simple 2 channel unit my pops gave me. About $40 I think. Runs bookshelf speakers awesome.

Yep. I pointed them out become some people don't even know these exist and think you need a several hundred dollar rack mounted receiver to drive larger stereo speakers. Not anymore.

There are options. And at 4x4x1 inch, these are pretty convenient.

would this work on a Bose wave radio so you could add a couple speakers?

Interesting. I have an old Cambridge Soundworks speaker setup that this might drive. I need to check the impedance though - as I recall it was relatively low.

I had a couple leftover Jamo surround speakers and picked up a similar Fosi unit on Amazon for my aptop setup in the garage office, sound is pretty darn good.

Those are pretty old and there are several models.

Depends on what OUT jacks it has. TOS Link optical? Line Out? Left and right out?

So to add an EQ to the unit, would I just need to go out on the EQ to in on the amp?
And, do you know of a decent one?
Not sure if my phone has one, I'll have to check.
I really like how compact these are!

No, that won't work. That's an input jack (labeled IN) into the Bose.

You need an output jack from the Bose (OUT), so you can send signal from the Bose to the amp.

*Not from what I can tell in the image anyway.

Ahhh - Variable OUT L/R - white and red at the very bottom left should work.

Arylic has an amp board as well as a plate version (both 2.1 channel).  They are rated at 2x50 at 4 ohms and 1x100 at 2 ohms for the sub.  I just 3D printed a case for my plate amp so I can test it.

All of the amps probably share the same amp circuit but Arylic adds a lot more if you need it.  LAN streaming, optical audio in and even a USB port so it acts as a DAC(outboard audio decoder) for your PC.

I also have (the old version of) this:

Does the Bose wave radio have a line out?

Beat like a rented mule. Yes, the line out at the bottom should work.


These amps are pretty dang good if you don't need a ton of power:

Plenty good enough for the gunroom/office.

Yes they are awesome.  I run a Fosi 2.0 attached to an old pair of Sony tower speakers, and it's very much more than adequate for a "garage stereo".
