how are they rated?

At what freq and what voltage? We dont know this readily, a PA mono might just well produce rated at 21khz @ 19volts for all we know but thats unusable power or more so unrealistic to produce..The amp produces the power but its unusable..

I dont think such large companies like PA etc would risk a lawsuit like this for fraud against consumers..And in anycase, you get what you pay for-FACT.

OK, I hear you but, I think it has been established that PA usually makes crap and somehow managed to produce the A3000db.

arent the amps rated at 1khz? they will put out far less power at the lower frequencies.
when they say x amount of watts they mean it will be put out at x amount of hz @ x amount of volts.

compare the rating of a pa amp to that of a jbl, the jbl is rated at 12.5 volts & at the full range of frequencies.

Have you done such tests? If so why not share your results?

Have you read my previous reply?

The PA company rate their amps on a full moon friday at exactly 1pm @ 18.672 volts with a sine wave at 1khz !
If you could recreate that then you'll have ur 3000 watts Laughing

So why bash PA only? Other manufacturers do the same thing as well. PA is a economical brand. As was said before, you get what you pay for...

I have used this brand and although you don't get the rated rms, it alright for a small system and good for the price IMO.

By the way, I got my PA 1600/4 BAMF for $780 brand new (the model that looks like an RF). Laughing

ok slacker_jack, this is wat i meant.

1.KONGOREALM SAID THAT D BAMP SERIES AMP FROM POWER ACOUSTIK, LUKS SIMILAR TO RF AMPS WHICH IS TRU.

2. I COMMENTED AFTER HE REPLIED BY SAYIN, " D POWER ACOUTIK BAMF SERIES AMPS DO LUK LIKE D RF AMPS"....THEN, I ASKED WHY , POWER ACOUTIK BAMP AMPS, HAS A SIMILAR EXTERNAL APPEARENCE, TO THAT OF D RF AMPS

SO I HAV NO PROBLEM WIT RF AMPS. ITS MY QUESTION, IE ( WHY PA BAMP SERIES AMPS, LUKS SIMILAR TO THE RF AMPS) WHICH NEEDS TO BE ANSWERED

PLEAZE TELL MEH UR UNDERSTAND, SLACKER_JACK...

Kongorealm · Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:53 pm Post subject:

Maybe because RF has a great amps, PA replicated the exterior to attract costumers to purchase the amp. But you must admit, the PA amp in question does look cool.

^^
that's another way to put it...PA are not like RF amps in terms of power so PA made the amp to look like the RF for advertising purposes.

Kongorealm · Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 2:00 pm Post subject:

On the other hand...Has anyone ever tested the output power of any PA amp?

This would be good information to share.

Its very obvious that PA have been overrating most of their amplifiers, but who doesnt? Alot of the other "top" brands when compared to a PA amp usually carry around the same fuses but arent rated as powerful as the PA amp. But dont be fooled, most companies overrate their products. IF u calculate the power input to most amplifiers and look at their respective rated power outputs u wud wonder if those amps never give off one bit of heat. However at the end of the day PA, in particular, seems of overrate most of their amps quite more than anybody else. Im sure most of u have experienced using at least one PA amp and i wud tell u, put aside all the stupid talk about them not being powerful etc., they can power a really nice small system if u use them rite and wud sound really good if ur setup is done right.
