Guys,
I am am totally novice here but decided to kit out my garage with some old Mordaunt Short speakers and thought I might be nice to wire up a small BT Amp. So what are people opinions on these from AliExpress:
Bluetooth 5.0 2*50W 2*100W AUX TPA3116 Digital Power Amplifier Board Speaker 2.0 CH Stereo Home Music Wireless Module Audio AMP|Amplifier| - AliExpress
I know they are cheap but I am probably only going to use these occasionally (Garage gets cold in the winter) so I am on a budget and just wanted to get something that mostly works? Maybe next year when I have a better understanding of the capabilities I might go totally DIY.
Anyway, anyone opinion on these or similarly priced alternatives?
Thanks

Not a bad price for a throw away item as they are not repairable and come through Ali Express, not a seller with any confidence.
I’ve had a few of those boards in that same series, there are several versions that are similar in appearance.
They have been working, sounding great, much better than the price would suggest. My recommendation would be to not attempt to swap out any of the components. I have found that adding additional low esr capacitors to the existing leads to work well, where removal and replacement has failed every time on these boards. They will die if powered on without a speaker load, something to make a note of.
And use a higher amp rated power supply as well, say 5A or more for good sound.
