that knowledge makes puppy mad

apparently so! lmao. prolly cuz they're butt hurt and their amp's fuses are only at 40 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif maybe its cuz they think fuses really DONT matter. but w/e, ill let them be mad idc.

funny cuz i never said i knew everything, nor did i say i was a guru of any sort. i do believe in what makes sense. thus, the amp rms rating equating to amp fuse sizes.

and yeah, tryin not to ride my dick, yet insulting me. a little contraDICtory dont you think? you posts just further proves the fact that you just insult ppl to make you feel better about your miserable life //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

makeshift... that formula i mentioned was approximate. i didnt know the exact numbers until your genius self posted it. but you said i believe everything i hear, yet it seems you believe everything you hear too.. since you agreed that i apparently learned all my shit in church too. nice lol //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/handclap.gif.0c301076f534e244f0460706894f19e0.gif

Well...the Power Acosutik A3000db was rated at 3000x1...and only benched around 1,800-1900 @ 1 ohm...so....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

LOL ha ha ha find me a amp that puts out that power for that price ***.

 

[dave_damage 10+ year member]

you would be better off with a used Sundown sae 1200d

why?

 

[dave_damage 10+ year member]

All power acoustik amps are re branded low end Soundstream amps, like the Picasso series

Dude you know nothing about Epsilon so stop talking. Just because you have good SOundstream shit dont give you the right to spread hear say. From what I hear, you got close to no deal at all on your SS shit. As of late 2008, PA and Soundstream have nothing, and I mean nothing to do with one another, other than the Video shit, So keep your false statements to your self please. Want to talk more pm me. So I don't bash your rep here more. And for the record, Soundstream Picasso amps have nothing to do with PA amps. As of now the only PA amps that have anything to do with Soundstream are the Van Gogh II line from Germany that are rebaged BAMF amps. Search and you will see.

Google is your friend.

The query is "ATC fuse datasheet". First result. I would trust their official, tested information over yours. Just in case you can't handle that, here is a URL.

Also, my hobby has been in power electronics for years, giving me and experience when it comes to things like this, and when it comes for the information there, I would believe it to be completely accurate, corresponding with the tidbits of information that I have learned about the fusing habits of ATC fuses.

Formula? I just posted facts from datasheets. The wattage information any monkey can do. I'm not insulting you to make my life better, but to express my dislike for the people like you who do not exactly know what they're talking about. Yes, you did not say you were a guru, but it doesn't matter if you did or not. Someone is going to find this page by google and see that simple logic because they do not want to read on, and then take it as a simple fact, then will spread it until corrected. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

The church thing is an expression, and I said in such a way that said "I think so too, from observation." If you couldn't figure this out from the way I said it and make the connection, I can't help you. xD I can try though, because I'm nice. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I do believe fuses do their job, and do matter. I do not know if you were directing that at me, but just throwing that out there. I don't know how one would think otherwise.

I'm not flaming, or 100% insulting, but trying to get the point across on a correction. Yes amps are fused, but your measurements are inaccurate.

One of the Picasso series amps (Some 2kW amp) has the same board as the PA 3000db. If you believe otherwise, I have repaired both of them, and about 6 other ones with identical boards but different brands within the last month. I personally like them. They can sometimes do 2kW or more, if they have the bus carriers added, which some don't.

You can get around 2000 out of it @ 2ohm. Probably not much more. My subs are wired to around 1.34 ohms, with box rise probably seeing 2ohm to 2.5 ohm. Each sub can take a max of 300 x 6 subs. The way I have it wired if I turn it up all the way and bump on it to long I get the good ol smell coming from it. So it is doing at least 1800 to 2000 watts at this load. For the money it is a **** good amp.

your NOT getting 2000w @ 2ohm... unless your running 16V. you might get 2,000w @ 1ohm @ a true constant 14.4V.

Stfu, you haven't tested shit. Not trying to market it as the best amp *******, but for the price it is outstanding

no, not at all. you havent had anything better the judge it by i guess //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I am not ridin anybody's dic k here, but if you listen to some of these fu ck faces, you are doomed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It is funny some of the "gurus" know so much

your the only one making outrages claims that it actually does its ratings in a real world vehicle application. Give it a true 1 ohm load after imp rise, and a constant 14.4V+ and it might do 2000w like i said above. ~$250 for ~2,000w isnt bad. but a SAZ1500 is what, another $50 if you find a good used one... and it will do 1600 @ 1, close to 2k @ .5 and is built WAYYYYYYY better

That is an inaccurate statement. For the price this is a good amp, that is all. This amp has actually held up better than any of the junk American Bass I have had.

to settle the whole thing...the PA A3000db does do rated 2300 @1 ohm if you have the electrical to back it up....and for 279 shipped for a brand new one...isnt bad money.

hmm im just feeling more and more bad about my amp reading this thread //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I've only had one out of two that put out 2.3kW@14V, but the one under was just a little bit short, 217xW iirc.

I know what one you are referring to. That one is from 2003 2004.
