Power Acoustik is LYING to You.

[@djkeys415s]

That amp is ROCK SOLID ran it in 1ohm.for ever BUT YOU GOT TO KEEP EM KOOL.IF NOT????

[@Blowncaraudio]

Nice!!!! I really am loving it!

[@optimusprimer4392]

Wilson audio Labs did a dino of this and it did real well

[@Blowncaraudio]

We love Big D! I saw that. I think it was a marine amp, but it was pretty much the same thing. Thank you for the comment! I'm actually really liking it so far!

[@Thumper68]

This amp actually does 1400 watts dynamically. I have the old version of this amp for over 5 years and it’s never skipped a beat. My starting ohm loads 1.33.

[@Blowncaraudio]

Hell yeah!! I really think this thing is gem hidden in plain sight!

[@Zachecker]

Great video. those power accoustik subs are pretty good for the price

[@Blowncaraudio]

Lol, I've had these 2 Gothics for like 5 years and they're still going strong! Thank you for the compliment and good stuff on your channel too!! I've seen your vids and subbed!👍

[@Zachecker]

@@Blowncaraudio ay thx man. Of course love other people posting.

[@MrBooMY3]

These stickers never hold up in court. They have to prove what you did caused the failure. I remove these every time.

[@Thumper68]

The Magnuson Moss Warranty Act is what protects us from those stupid stickers.

[@scottw1938]

Power Acoustik is 2nd only to BOSS when it comes to flat out lying about RMS output. Been that way for at least 30 years, truly pathetic to use dishonesty to swindle a newcomer to car audio out of their money. On a positive note the loudest system I've ever heard was a Power Acoustik company demo build that was in the mid 160s at a car show at Cal Expo in Sacramento in 99 or 2K. It was a yellow or gold car from the 40s or 50s if I remember correctly. The back doors opened and had 6 amps on each door with the cargo area was made up of 4 subs in a + configuration. 6 of those in total made 24 12s with lots of lighting. Ol Yeller was the name of the vehicle. Heard them burping it when I was 4 miles from the exit on the freeway. Impressive😮

[@tomb9566]

They are not lying to you, hence the term max power. As far as them, no making rms power. Give it enough volts, it'll do it. That's why I only go with the big 3, Rockford, JL, and kiçker

[@eganc1976]

Das wassups cuh

[@bernardohernandez6355]

I did a 137. Something @36 Hz, single 12'

[@Blowncaraudio]

NOICE!! That's pretty damn good!!!

[@Amanda-rh7ft]

WOW!!! sounds good!

[@Blowncaraudio]

It does!!

[@philipeli1192]

I ran the 4 ch version in my motorcycle powering an 8 inch infinity sub and a pair of 6.5 jbl,loved its size and power. They are like a lot of things,exaggerated numbers are now exposed,this is a 1000w amp at best,fusing alone tells us that,keep up the good work.

[@Blowncaraudio]

Thank you! I'm loving the amp, so far!

[@davidtheawesomeone5358]

Where did you buy this? I tried looking online for it, cant find this 1 ohm version, and my local walmart only had the old ugly yellow box ones. Thanks!

[@Blowncaraudio]

The walmart I went to had 2 with the new black boxes and one of the old yellow box. I think they might be getting the old ones out before they put the new ones on the shelf. I also noticed that you can't get them online yet too. Maybe see if you can find an employee there and ask if they have any new ones in the back.

[@davidtheawesomeone5358]

​@Blowncapacitor84 thank you so much, I'll do some hunting around!!

[@kenh733]

My Walmart had 3 new and one old, I have the old one in my other car, works great

[@DeeHermanson]

They dont rate them at 1 ohm but trust me. They do just fine!

[@FLUX-qx6wr]

WANG!!!!❤❤❤ Sounds AWESOME bro!!!

[@Blowncaraudio]

BROOOO!!! It definitely bumps!

[@tomb9566]

I've yet to see a class d mono block, not handle 1 ohm. My old rockford class a/b could handle 2 ohm mono for a couple of hours with no fan

[@Scandinavian_Pride]

Another decent budget amp is Harmony. If I remember correctly, they've been around for a while.

[@SnubBarracuda]

It's hard to support a company who isn't honest to you. I don't know why these companies don't care. I guess there are maybe more suckers than people who care if you are full of crap. I see the old ones on Marketplace for 20 bucks sometimes though and I'll take that and time.

[@Blowncaraudio]

Agreed!

[@djkeys415s]

When you a vett in the game it dont mater but the nubs might get screwed tho...but wait...nope....WE GOT KZbin!!!!

[@JohnShepherd-jj7cw]

So you're running them two 12 at a 1/2 ohm ? So how is that ? They are 4-ohm dual voice coil subs two of them that brings it down to 1 ohm load ! Right ?

[@Blowncaraudio]

@@JohnShepherd-jj7cw they are dual 8 ohm

[@Blowncaraudio]

Final is closer to an ohm if I remember right

[@Blowncaraudio]

Ok wait they are dual 4 they are wired in parallel and both speakers are wired together in parallel. It's not uncommon to get a little bit of a lower impedance reading. Alot of variables in there and the multimeter is really just guessing. Thank you for the comment!

[@TrapMyRide]

Yeah something isn't right there. They should be around 1 ohm

[@Blowncaraudio]

@TrapMyRide dude no speaker ever sets perfectly at any impedance. It is what it is and has been for close to a decade. You should know better

[@djkeys415s]

See smart ppl buy 3or4 of that amp and sub combo.And ish is bangin like a mofo.800.00 bux

[@Blowncaraudio]

I thought about that! You could legit have a decent system for cheap!

[@LeonD519]

Yea they lie. 2500 watt amp with 60 amps fuses.

[@WilliamOnger-r9p]

The new version has 50A fuses

[@LeonD519]

@@WilliamOnger-r9p damn they reduced the power

[@NorthFloridaAirGunner]

Dude, the old ones came with 2 25amp fuses. I'm running 2 of them on my single 12 right now.

[@LeonD519]

@ that’s 500 watts then

[@JohnShepherd-jj7cw]

It does 1000 watts RMS and over 1300 dynamic

[@Blowncaraudio]

@@JohnShepherd-jj7cw NICE!!

[@2011joser]

Rockville makes a statement about power ratings that explains why power acoustik over rates by so much. They are in the budget segment where most brands do the same (Boss). They have to grab the attention of the inexperienced customer that won’t know the difference between max and true rms ratings. That being said, with this series of amps Power Acoustic delivers way more than others in the same price range (Boss). There is a Soundstream version of this amp that is more accurately rated and is actually more compact because it doesn’t have the plastic trim at the ends of the chassis. Keep the up the good work with these budget videos.

[@Blowncaraudio]

@@2011joser thank you!!!

[@JohnShepherd-g8i]

Can the 2500 amp run 1/2 ohm

[@Blowncaraudio]

It's not rated for it, but maybe?

[@Scandinavian_Pride]

I'm to find the true numbers for the PA Overdrive 1000.... Anyone know if it's true? Thanks

[@Blowncaraudio]

I was completely unaware of that amp until now. I'd like to order it and test it out

[@Scandinavian_Pride]

I've seen a few P acoustic amps Dyno'd but I haven't found the 1000.2 AB test yet. I think I just saw it for $59.98 ? It wasn't expensive. I just got 2x DS18 6.5 two way in today. I'm doing all the custom work myself. 2000 Accord sedan. I just got back from the hardware store with a 4x8 sheet of plywood & .5x8x16ft board strapped to the roof of it lol. 15 minute drive took 45 minutes 😅. Gotta do what we gotta do sometime. It's worth it. 51 yo & this is my last & best build.

[@Blowncaraudio]

@barnes29510 NICE!! Enjoy man!

[@mester84]

They only change the fuse and box lol

[@Blowncaraudio]

I definitely think you're right! 🤣

[@allthingsaudio4610]

Thats crazy. I have this same amp. Bought it brand new and mines came with (2) 25 amp fuses.

[@NorthFloridaAirGunner]

Look like all they did was put 2 50 amp fuses in them to me. Guts look identical.

[@Blowncaraudio]

@@NorthFloridaAirGunner yup! I definitely agree!

Fair fair, besides that could I copy your settings on the amp? Minus bass boost

[@JustJfromFL]

I've been running similiar set up in an 08 santa fe, full interior speakers upgraded,sound design head unit 5v outputs, with amp and sub using a single sub only and slot port box. Since 2018 , zero problems , sounds great , reliable.

Bought a 12" Power Acoustik like these from Walmart and it lasted 4 minutes with everything turned down. Needless to say I was disappointed and I was able to get a refund.

[@Blowncaraudio]

Really? I've had these subs for years and beat the crap out of them with no issues.

[@Acer0Cool]

@@Blowncaraudio lol I wish I could say the same. I'm not sure exactly what happened but after 4 minutes they seized up.

[@Blowncaraudio]

@@Acer0Cool honestly maybe look somewhere else cuz I would imagine just like everything else coming out of Walmart the quality is degrading very very fast.

[@Acer0Cool]

@@Blowncaraudio true I ended up getting a pioneer sub on Amazon. It doesn't thump as hard as the PA did but it sounds clean and still bumps.

[@DeeHermanson]

I broke a windshield with them subs and amp at 1 ohm. For real!!

NICE!!!💪

[@Thumper68]

In freezing cold maybe with a chip in the window you didn’t know was there

@@Thumper68 a no. Pretty sure it is summer and my windshield was just fine. Don't be jealous I can build a system better than you 😂 there's always got to be that one person on the internet that's got to be negative, negative negative. Have a good day sir

[@chrisjohnson6947]

I don't know bout blowing the windshield but if u say so but I will say it's all about the box I can put a shitty sub in a awesome box and it will sound amazing but u can put the best subs $ can buy in a shitty box and guess what it's going to sound like shit lmao so hopefully didn't cost to much to replace ur windshield

[@andrewturner852]

This amp is not powerful enough to handle one of these gothic subs i was using just one of these when the amp partially blew limiting me to half volume before protect kicks on these subs however can handle more than 2500 believe it or not been giving them absolute hell with no issues probably around 3000 watts on some very hot days with no issues whatsoever

[@dirt_ripper8734]

Instead of this crap , buy CT Sounds , Taramps , Recoil, or PRV instead . They all do above rated power and are all near the same price range of this Wal Mart special that you installed.

[@Blowncaraudio]

Ok

[@elcompatavo9365]

This amp is much cheaper than all the above brands tho, and you get a decent amout of watts for 98 dollars , and good quality really nice built amp with Korean board thats a plus
