The PLA2230, however, does maintain some of its predecessors components such as a variable bass boost, a variable input level (gain) control, power protection LED indicators, and thermal overload short-circuit protection, not to mention an ultra slim design for much improved/simpler installation into a vehicle. The Pyle Audio PLA2230 is priced at $285.42, making it approximately $30-$120 more expensive than its inferior predecessors.
