Rockville RPA16 10000W Peak/3000W RMS 2-Channel Power Amplifier, Bridgeable, Built-in Crossover, Limiter, LCD Display, XLR/Speakon/Banana Outputs, for Pro Audio and DJ

Was running a Crown xli1500 to push two NVX vcw 10s (car subs) in my house but the crown wasn't powerful enough. Bought the RPA16, hooked it up, and set the gain at 33db. Wow, the rpa16 woke up the subs! They sound amazing. The Crown xli1500 is much more expensive and has less power. The rpa16 exceeds the crown in power at a much lower price. The rpa16's fan is a bit loud when the bass kicks in but with the music up I can't really hear it. Also, the rpa16 creates lots of heat. All in all, I'm enjoying the amp and highly recommend. Oh, one more thing. Bought this on a monday morning and it was delivered the very next day. Two days before it was scheduled to arrive. Thank you Rockville/Audio Savings!

This amp is quite powerful. Are you getting every watt promised on the tin? Probably not, but I've used the 3000 RMS model to power two 1500 RMS 3-way speakers (with 15 inch woofers) for roughly two years now, with no issues. Will the sound make an audiophile who is listening in a treated room gasp with delight and wonder? Probably not. Is it more than good enough for your average rock audience? Absolutely. I will buy another one of these.

GOOD AMP SOUNDS GOOD

This is an updated review. It has plenty of power for the two RSG-15.24 that I power with it, I hardly ever go above 50% on my gain. I am pretty sure it would power four RGS-15.28 with no sweat. I wish that I would have bought the 8 ohm versions now so that I had room to upgrade later. It puts out clean sound, (Previously I said it had a hum when idle with no music running through them, it appears to be an issue with the wiring in my house) I have done enough gigs to know I don't have any issues with clean sound at this point. I have it running through a Furman M-8X2 suppressor which I think helps keep the sound clean. I also don't have any issues with overheating, ran a 6 hour gig with no problems and I am in a very hot and humid environment. I can't speak highly enough about this amp at this cost point. Only drawback would be the weight of the amp, but that is a small issue compared to what this powerhouse is capable of.

I bought the Rockville RPA16 for under $400 and it's well worth it.My receiver is the Yamaha RX-V685,this amp works perfectly with it using RCA to XLR cables,no buzzing noise,nothing needed in between,just a simple RCA to XLR connection.The speakers i have are the Rockville Dual 12 (RSG12.2),the sound is clear and insanely loud,the RPA16 puts out plenty of power. The other amp i tried with my Yamaha receiver was the Crown XLS2502,it has good reviews overall and may be right for you but it simply did not work for me,not enough power for my dual 12s.It also put out a buzzing noise when i connected using my RCA to XLR cables,that can be cleared up with a "CleanBox" but the power would still be lacking compared to the Rockville RPA16.I ended up connecting the Crown amp using RCA to RCA but the signal seemed very weak even when changing the sensitivity and upping the volume of my receiver. This Rockville RPA16 is exactly what i wanted and works perfectly with my system.I hope this review saves people some time and money.

I have a home audio system. 1 Crown amp, DBX sound processor, Denon and high end Bluetooth, expensive ground isolating power conditioner. Audio is perfect no noise. Then adding this amplifier - there is a buzz added to the system. Remove the amp - buzz gone. Sent back to Rockville, they returned and said it tested fine. They did not call me at all and just returned it to me. Would be an okay amplifier for outdoors where quality is not needed. No reason to keep it if the amp adds noise. Crown has perfect playback no introduced noise. Even cheap Alibaba amps from Riworal Class D do not add noise and are better than this quality wise. It is powerful, but the noise - buzz is a deal breaker for me.

Upon raising the hood on this beast. It is a class H amplifier. As good as class D. There are no low pass output filters. That gave me a clue. The transformer has 2 power supply rails. 43 volts and 86 volts. 43 for soft music 86 for loud. Runs cool and effeciently. Id say 10kw is when the smoke is released. Plus the wiring is good for 15 or 20 amps. With the capacitors the voltage goes from 86 to 120 volts so when out put is bridged. You should see a max of 240 volts at speaker terminals

OK so I had to take my car stereo system out. so now I have two perfectly good sundown audio U series 12" d2 that i want to hook into my home audio system.but where was I going to find a home amp that would give me 1500rms +2. thats when I ran across this rockville rpa 16, I have it in parallel mode, low pass at 80hz 4ohm each channel and it sounds good, not as loud as the car but still pretty loud, it shakes my hole house. update 7/20/23 since posting I bought another RPA 16 and put one off each sub. that's what she needed it really pumps now. these amps have nice bottom end. two of them draws alot of power I had to run a 20amp power line and fuse to the fuse box

Es muy muy pesado, tiene un enorme transformador toroidal al interior, apenas pude levantar una tapa lateral y ver el interior, se aprecian algunos transistores de potencia, no he podido contar cuántos lleva, pero, ni he llegado a la mitad del volumen ya que entrega tanta potencia que las bocinas que tengo lo recienten, son las VP1520 de aprox 300W rms, y las mueve cómo si nada a 8 ohms. De verdad la mejor compra que puedes hacer.
