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.

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.

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

I like the power produced by this amp. Its powering 6 tower speakers with 15 inch 2000 watt 4 ohm speakers and tweeters and mids. I also have 6 full speakers on top of each tower as satellites for a total of 12 full range speakers. Powers all to the point of nearly breaking out the storm windows. Great power and only at half power. Cons are, its extremely heavy which isn't a problem if its in a cabinet or on a separate stand or enclosure. Another con is that it doesn't have any other functions such as Bluetooth. This is not really a problem for me as I was only looking for a powerful amp, but for the price a few extras would have been nice. Not necessary, but nice. The input and outlets are good but rca inputs would be a great addition. The 1/4inch/xlr inputs are very good but make sure you get male xlr cables for the input. Female for the other outfit for powered sub or linking amps. Db level and temperature readout is great and precise. Overall great product but could use a couple of extras. Power is Very satisfying.

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.

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.
