If you want reliability, then make sure the components are rated with appropriate power handling levels...... and always use speakers rated for more than the amp can produce.

Kiwi, keep in mind that this is a pyle amp, which is some of the cheapest pawn shop merch you can find. I'd be willing to bet if you looked up the RMS output at even 2 ohms it would be well under 1/2 of the claimed peak of 1000. My guess would be about 300 or less at 4 ohms.
(not knocking the pyle amp, it's all that's needed in a 17 year olds first car, I had that quality or worse in the early days
