It's completely silent, until you play music, the switch is only for muting/sleep, and there are no popping sounds, even removing and inserting the power cord, the only issue is that you will fry the chip if you give it the wrong polarity, don't ask me how I know this.
But on the whole it's pretty well perfect, for that price.
That should be requirement and not a bonus, doesn't it?
Well, that's quite unfortunate. To make it reverse polarity safe is not very difficult though. Fuse in series, 'reverse' polarity diode to gnd. Extremely simple, effective, no drop in voltage and if it's connected reverse the fuse blows.

I haven't tried to run a party with it yet, so I don't know how hot it would get. But I doubt there will ever be a problem, unless you get to an occasion where you should have something beefier in the first place, like all of these things, power is dictated by supply, and at 24V, you can expect a nice 20W at 8ohm, and that's a lot.
Still didn't get the breeze amplifier , perhaps it will come soon 
In the mean time I bought another digital amplifier
this tda7498 amplifier from ebay
NEW TDA7498 2.0 channel Class D digital power amplifier 100W+100W | eBay
maybe someone try it and can give some feedback ?

Most TDA7498 amps work well to excellent, easy to realze amp comcept. But, well, that amp got the same problem, if you use high power, the heat can't be dissipated - no air movement and exchange happens at all. Probably not a problem at neighbour-friendly levels but still an issue to look out for if you are throwing a party or got some low efficiency speakers like it becomes more and more popular.
Hi
if you refer tot th TPA3116 chip amp there are alot of threats to read for updates and modifications.
my personl expereiance with the closed amp (FX 502Spro) is that in living room level and party level i dont get problems with heat but if your request for really loud party level and Boom box it might be better to change the housing or drill a lot of holes inside and use bigger foots to let the air flowing well.
or look to more powerfull amps like TPA3251/TPA3255 - TI EVM and 3e boards

Thank you Chris,
I already have the single chip version and have done the gain mod, replaced power caps, and added a DC power switch to turn the amp off. I was looking for a more powerful amp, so I ordered this one. I might try the TI TPA3255 EVM board.
I was referring to mods specific to this amplifier, not TPA3116 in general. I have a steady hand and am quite good with a soldering iron, but I am not an electrical engineer nor as knowledgeable as others on this forum.

i dont know the TPA3116 chip but start with your know mods adn try to copy this to this amp. Make some pics and write us your ideas ...so the help is easier...
maybe the TPA3116 experts = Fauxfrench is busy...he know a lot of 3116 amps...

This dual chip version amp is 2x100W @2ohm (great for subs)
single or dual chip will give you 2x50W @4ohm
So the dual chip amp should be just as loud with the same speakers.
TDA7498E might also be interesting for 4ohm loads or higher. The red Sanwu board (<$20) is fine.

Output is currently probably limited to by amount of bass your speakers produce.
You can add better/more bass and clean up the mids a bit by using a 2.1 line level crossover with a at least a variable low pass for the sub (s). (ebay <$10) Add 1 or 2 sealed (car?) subwoofer (s). (as 2 sound better then 1, not for stereo) Which you can power with the dual chip amp.
You can plug the reflex ports with foam or socks.

hi bitperfectq
i should get my amp (TPA3116 dual chip breeze audio...) this week. i summarized all points i can find up to now.
my proposal because you had expereiance at modding:
if you want to investigate some modifications first check if this points are correct implemented.
