12V Chinese SS amps

I am looking at these small amps on ebay to take back and forth to the cabin. For $13 I guess its worth trying, I was wondering on the power output on them. I am planning to use an old pair of genexxa speakers rated at 30W RMS.

This amp claims to have 200w? I doubt it:

12×12÷4=36watts ... if they are using a step up circuit inside for the voltage it might be 200 watts ..doubt it though

Thanks for the reply, I think I am going to try this one, the only problem is they say 8volts RMS output? I guess they mean 8W RMS?

it seems cheap enough to take a chance on . i don't understand 8v rms either .
just don't expect any more than 20w per channel before clipping . the 5 amp supply socket sort of gives the game away .
