jayjay6888 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) i was wondering the quality of power acoustik and was wondering if they were overrated because i was going to get either the PS1 3000D or the PS1 4000D for my next set up and also i can control that amount of watts im getting but setting my gain with a DMM because i get keep getting mixed answers and either one of these amps will be a little bit stronger than i need if they put out true power? http://sonicelectronix.com/item_9281_Power...+PS1-3000D.html http://sonicelectronix.com/item_9713_Power...+PS1-4000D.html Edited April 5, 2008 by jayjay6888 Quote 1 Fi Sp4 18 Crescendo 2k selenium mids audioque supertweets Hifonics for mids and and highs 1/0 power and grounds ---> on the way singer alt and possibly another 2k depending how sub likes 1 2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwright27 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 the a3000db i think does the closest to rated power.

AI James Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 they are pretty much all overrated to some extent or another. Quality....they are pretty low on the quality chain but you cant expect alot outt of the prices they go for. Also for thier price its real hard to get anything else comparable so its basically pick your poison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amalan Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 i have a a2400db on my btl right now till i decide to get off my ass and redo the wiring to put my new amp in but its pushing it really well for the time being. id say theyre pretty close to what they put out, not sure about the one you posted up but the a2400 and a3000 are fairly close to rated power if not the rated power.

REVOK1NER Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I used to have a PA PS2-2600 on two Soundstream T5-15s and I can't complain at all the amp was $150 shipped brand new and I was in the low 140's with that amp and it is only rated at 1080 RMS and my Soundstreams were rated at 1000 rms each, can't beat it for the price In my opinion.

jayjay6888 Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 figured they were overrated a little that why i was looking at the 3000d because it says 1700 at 1ohm and im not expecting to get a birthsheet reading like a rockford or a MTX but i didnt want to put 1700 to it anyway i want this system to last for a while and i dont want to be overpowering it and having to do recones all the time... just something to wang on hard all the time so that 1700 at 1 ohm has got to be somewhere in the area of 1500 and thats good enough Quote 1 Fi Sp4 18 Crescendo 2k selenium mids audioque supertweets Hifonics for mids and and highs 1/0 power and grounds ---> on the way singer alt and possibly another 2k depending how sub likes 1 2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
