that us acoustics amp is really cheap, and it says its puts out 1200rms @ 1 ohm, yet it only has 90A fuse. So it has to be overrated, yet on that "good/bad amp list" it is in the highly reccomended section.

If you take I x V, you will get power. So 90A x 13.5v = 1215w. Since the amp isn't 100% efficient, you won't get 1215w, but you can see it will be up there.
Sometimes a manufacturer will put "max" possible power under extreme condition to get consumer's attention. Doesn't mean you will get that power 24/7.

for $280 I wouldnt ever consider that amp. If that amp draws 90A max, there is no way it can produce 1200wrms @1ohm.

90A x 13V = 1170w
and that is if this amp is 100% efficient...which is impossible.

1170w x .80 = 936wrms
That is what the amp could in theory if it was 80% efficient.

for $280, i would look into something along the lines of a jbl bp1200.1. It will do a true 1200wrms+.

i would NEVER pay $600 for an amp that puts out 1000 watts, i dont care what you say about it, thats just a rip off.

Sevin7, he said $600 obo, so you can make a deal.
As for your comment, it is a good deal. Take a look at JL 1000/1 amp. It is over $700. Same thing applies to most good amps. Zapco's C2K 6 is over $1000.
If you're into high quality sound, the Xtant amp is something you should consider. Same thing applies to Zapco.
Had I not bought 5 G4 amps, I would've maybe made an offer for the Xtant.

I believe US Acoustics RMS ratings are listed at 12.9 volts and are underrated.

well thats impossible since the amp only has a 90 amp fuse, there is no way it is putting out 1200. OVER-RATED
