Hello all.

I am looking into getting a new amp. I have seen Power Acoustik around lately. What are you thoughts/opinions on this line of amps?

Thanks,

-Tim

Power Acoustic makes, in my opinion, generally decent entry-level equipment. Their ratings are not accurate, though. Their amps put out about 2/3 of what they claim in general. But if you don't push it too hard, it is OK. In the same price range, a much better choice IMO is US Acoustics.

power a is not the best or worst amp out there, but if the price is right you could do worse. jbl 1200.1 is always a good choice.

U.S Acoustics makes good inexpensive amps like DYOHN said. They would be better then poweracoustik amps.
