Review: works great - I've had a pair of jbl e90 floorstanding 3 way speakers for more than 20 years...never had them hooked up to anything other than a receiver with 100 watts per channel...what a shame...bought this RPA12 several months ago and hooked up my old jbl's ...unbelievable how great these speakers sound after all this time...all they needed was some real juice to make them sing...they're rated for 225 watts rms each so this amp has plenty of headroom...i can crank it really loud, and i mean screaming loud, and the volume is barely half way up while the sound is crystal clear...im 54 and don't give a shiat about my ears...they always ring and i don't want to hear what most people have to say anyway...i liked what this amp did so much that I've since aquired 2 RPA16's at 10,000 watts each and have built two boxes for 15 inch subs as well as two boxes for 8 inch subs...slapped a crossover and preamp unit on top of it all and just run all my music from my pc to the preamp through your standard 3.5mm pc audio jack...game changer set up from where i started with my first Rockville RPA12...I dont even use my sony stereo receiver anymore...no need to...got one build and one more amp to add....some devastating Orion HCCA midrange speakers married to one more RPA16 and then the neighbors will hate me more than ever...then my work is done....the RPA12 is more than enough wattage for most people and their setup....if you want to upgrade your setup and add some big subs or pro PA loludspeakers, just get the RPA16...the RPA12 is 5000 watts peak for $284...the RPA16 is 10000 watts peak for $100 more...thats 5000 more peak watts at your disposal for another $100...all of the amps I've bought have worked great and they are easy to use for anyone...no expert audio tech knowledge necessary...the user manual is like 7 pages and illustrates different setups and where you plug in the cables for said setups...idiot proof...get one...you'll be glad you did

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What cord do I use to make this play off of a phone?**
A: I just got a $20 bluetooth transmitter and it works fine wirelessly.

**Q: So its got a double volume left and right double volume?**
A: On amps those arent volume knobs to set up properly your receiver controls your volume. Those are gain knobs. You wanna crank your receiver up to about 80% volume and then turn the gain knobs up to get maximum volume and sound without clipping. Using the gain knobs for volume increases distortion to speakers. With my set up my receiver goes to a 3 channel eq/ crossover with dedicated subout. Then that runs to 3 different amplifiers. A basic quick set up is my receiver is cranked to 80%max then I adjust my eq for gain on it using built in meter for maximum volume without clipping EQ then move on to Amp. Besides my sub amp my other two set somewhere between 12 and 22 gain. The amps peak power is not determined by how high you crank gain. But those are not volume knobs.

**Q: What about the power source? is it autovolt?**
A: no

**Q: Does anyone know the true rms on rpa16?**
A: What’s written in the specs is pretty accurate.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Value
*by T***E on May 28, 2020*

This amp is perfect for my professional Karaoke set up. I have the 1400w rms amp paired with 2 Rockville 1200w peak power speakers. I run the music from my laptop to a Pyle 88btu mixer and on to the amp and I can crank up the bass if desired and a subwoofer is hardly needed. Very good quality for the price point. Mine is still new so we will see what kind of longevity it has over time. But so far. Very satisfied. I started out with an Amp Receiver combo and a pretty basic setup. I thought something was wrong with my microphones because distortion was really high no matter what I tried to do. With this amp now in my set up, my mics and background music come through with so much clarity and crisp detail. My karaoke guests have stated that I am the only karaoke guy in my city with this good of sound. (I know of a competitor of mine who actually has really great sound) and my people still say I got him beat.
