Go with the A3000DB's

Much better amp than boss.

get it from an authorized dealer so that you will have a one year warranty too.

The Boss is a high current 2channel and the PA is a class D monoblock, the Pa will be more efficient and easier to get power out of.

The PA a3000db is a 2300w amp, not a 3000w amp.

no it is a 3000 watt amp. 2300 watts rms at one ohm.

May i suggest that you get the dual 2 ohm version as they will be alot easier for wiring purposes. Also hats off to you for serving for our country.

Bolded the important part. I don't understand how 2300w RMS @ 1ohm makes it a 3000w amp.

I don't know much at all about anything Power Akoustic, squeak.

Is the 3000db stable below 1 Ohm? If so does the output at that load increase beyond what it does at 1 Ohm?

3000 watt peak amp.

As of right now it looks like we are trying to get some time on the RTA next weekend since we couldn't get on it today.
