i still have my power acoutic amp still brand new in the box i was gone use it to power 1 15" BTL, but alot of ppl are tellin me that this amp is so overrated. i been told different specs by alot of ppl on youtube thats has this amp. one dude says it only pushes out 1700rms and another dude said around 700rms. just want to know if anyone on here ever had this amp in their set up, or know anything about it to tell me the real power it puts out at 1ohm the manual says 3200x1 but i know thats not true don't know rather to sell it or not any suggestions?

whats that amperage of the fuses thats in it that a good way to guesstimate what it will do?

it has 5 40 fuses, but at the input terminals it says a minimal of 4awg wire, but i was gone try to use 1/0awg somehow

You may be lucky to get over 2000RMS if your lucky, these are just a rough way to measure but 12v*200A=2400W 14v*200A=2800w So if your lucky you could see over 2500RMS but you would definitely need good wiring and upgraded electrical. But otherwise your probably gonna see like 2000 maybe.

take baby steps, u cant do it all at once unless u have a roll of 100's big enough to choke a donkey

Idk for sure if the calculation i did is correct, but when i do the equation with a amp that i know the output power of its like 5-10% off what its rated at

Ahh ok, thanks for the clarification. I was always wondering if how some people get their actual numbers from their amps.
