Customer Ratings & Reviews

this amp surprised me, i had 4 kicker cvx's on a autotek 5000 mean machine, and my boys kept on tellin me about this amp to try it out on them, and i did. man i wish i would have new that it would have sounded so good 6 months ago i would have saved well over 500 hundred dollars difference. now i have the autotek under the bed and the POWER ACCOUSTIC doing the dirty work.

Massive Power for cheap!!!

I researched several brands for a cpl. months before deciding between the PA A3000DB and a Hifonics BXi1610, and I mean a lot of research. You can look at the circuit board to see how many caps it has, mosfets, etc.. It has all the right stuff and a ton of it that other really expensive brands do too. Look at the inside of this amp and then look at the inside of a Pyramid amp and you'll see what I'm talking about. Then you'll understand why some amps are called "overrated". It takes a 150 amp external fuse. Granted it (is) a clone amp, so the board is the same as the Kole Q1 3000D, the O2 Audio OAD3000.1, the Planet Audio TT2250d, and several other overpriced amps. Heck it's almost identical to the Lanzar OPTI 2000D also, but that amp is waaay more expensive, and the PA has more Caps! Check it out for yourself on "AmpGuts". Point is I have read feedback from these car stereo sheep that are bashing one manufacturer and praising the other, not even knowing that the board inside the amp is identical. Why? Because they paid 5 times as much for their amp. SUCKER! Don't fall for the hype. Do your research before you buy.

So how does the amp perform? Friggen awesome! It has so much power that I toasted a brand new PA FUBAR 12 ran at 2 ohms in a couple days with the gain set at about half, and the bass boost OFF, and the amp barely got warm. But since PA is such a cool company, and have great customer service their gonna let me upgrade to a brand new MOFO 12 for a few more dollars, and all I have to do is send this busted up sub back. The guy on the phone said that the FUBAR can't handle the power of this amp. He's not kidding. What does that tell you when one of their (own) techs I had on the phone is like "you can't run that sub at 2 ohms with that amp, the sub can't handle it". The FUBAR 12 handles 1800 watts btw! It takes power to make power, so already I know that I'm gonna have to get a bigger alternator, because even with my cap, it's not enough. The bass is sharp, and deep. Transitions are sudden and clear. Not muddy like my old amp.

I recommend this amp for a few reasons. One, it's built bullet proof, and has some really high-end features that are available on other amps that cost much much more. Two, if you give this amp the power it needs to perform, you will be astounded at how hard you subs will sound, but make sure you have subs that can handle like a 1000 watts RMS. Three, the customer service at PA is top notch, they've been around for years and they know what their doing. Don't be a sheep and fall for the hype. It's whats on the inside that counts!

Cheap Powerhouse!

I had this amp lying around.... and once I sold my MA Audio HK2000D I thought I minus well try this amp out. I was pretty impressed. I have it hooked up to a 15" Fi Q in a 3 cu ft box tuned to 35 hz wired to 1 ohm. And it really slams hard. But this amp it putting a hurtin on my alternator. My volt gauge bottoms out at high volumes. All the way down to 8v. So I would recommend at least a 140a alt along with the big 3 upgrade done in 0 gauge wire.

But for the price this thing is unstoppable. Its stout! Fan cooled also.

Beastly for the Price

I just ordered this amp and have it hooked up to an 18" Fi BL. I have it wired at one ohm and pounds the s*** out of my car. I would take this amp over the BXI 2006D that Hifonics makes. I ran this amp for a while but it doesnt put out anything like the PA3000DB. This amp is great for the money and it is strappable so you can get tons of watts for still a cheap price. Great Amp

Dam good buy the Best

I bought this 3000 watt amp to push my (2) 1100-watt SPL 12" subwoofers in a Ported box with ports on each side and power acoustik 800-amp capcell and cap-4 with Optima yellow cap battery it hit so dam hard I had to buy another 3000-D and man let me tell you each amp is running each sub in my SUV it was making my eye water and ears pop and my roof push up even after i put dymat in there she pound so hard now when I get a head ache I just turn up my music to about 3 to 4 and my head is gone and my back feel so good. I would always buy power acoustik I should have keep my MoFo 12" best subs ever made until they made the Orions they just cost to much but the best subwoofer around in a ported box.

Ridiculous

My boy had this amp running (2) 12" Audiobahn Alum subs and he could be heard over 2 blocks away. People were coming out of there houses as he would drive down the street to see where all the noise was coming from. Not only that, but the 1/4 inch steel latch on his trunk busted from the bass hitting so hard. While this amp doesn't have a great design, it's very powerful and durable for your needs.

Great Amp

i have one of these hooked up to 2 alpine type r's at one ohm i hit just over 140 dbs in a box tuned to about 42 hertz if i had one tuned to 35 hertz i'd probably get to about 143 or so definatly, highly recommend for the price its the best amp out there.

Great amp for a great price

This amp is real good, especially for the price you pay. Obviously its not as good as the top rated amps u pay 2grand for but its still good. This things pushes out alot of power. I had this powering my audiobahn awis10p , 3000w immortal. It pushed it hard. But yeh, great amp, i plan on purchasing another one to bridge together to power up a 6400w hifonics goliath xx....
one thing i had a problem with was overheating(though it was my fault), make sure it can vent good, i had it shut down on me twice playing it long n hard on a hot day

this amp IS BRIDGEABLE....the description on this site says it isnt

Great amp, Great price

Power Acoustik??? well this time they have made an incredible amplifier that will put out the massive amount of watts that u want. this amp is also bridgeable so u can connect 2 of this amps for a total of 6,000 watts at 1ohm.

good value

Just bought this amp to push a couple older round solo barics. It delivers for the money. I think this amp is a little overrated on power, but what do you want for 300.00 bucks. Power draw is reasonable, only a little dimming from lights. It is a little big, so you better have the room for it. I would recomend this amp to anybody looking for a stout amp at a dirt cheap price.

destroying and desecrating

I bought this amp and put it on two 15's and cooked them... Then I decided to try something else and once again I cooked two 12's about a month later.. Now I have two new 12's in seal boxes and one 15 in a ported box.. Wired at 1 Ohm and it SLAMS HARD.. All in a single cab F150(2000).. But wanting to add another one... I must say this has been a really good amp and at a very good price.

power acoustik

this is a very good amp very powerful and is easy to operate and set up in your car.

great amp

This is a very powerful amp for this price. Combo this amp with 4 kicker cvr and watch it work, in atlanta this is a well known amp. I sell a lot of these amps, power acoustic has made good amp!!!!!
