    AWAKENING OF THE SLEEPING GIANT

    "Keith with Rockville audio suggested the RPA 16 amplifier to power my Rockville RSG 15. 28 passive speakers I had initially bought the Rockville RPM 45 mixer and although the sound was good with this combination of the mixer and the speakers once I purchase the RPA 16 amplifier Keith was able to help me connect the Rockville RPM 45 into the RPA 16 amplifier so that I could still use the RPM 45 as my mixer and still use the four channels and the effects so it wasn’t a total loss of money. Keith sent detailed diagrams of the hook up as I am not tech savvy I am totally blown away by how this improve the sound of these speakers and will be purchasing in the future from Rockville. Thanks again Keith in technical support. The sound demo is 39 DB’s on channel 8 and channel B of the Rockville RPA 16 amplifier and halfway point on the master and volume button on the Rockville RPM 45 mixer"

    — Tim (5/5)

    Powerful and Clean Audio, cooling however is questionable.

    "This Amplifier has much more power then my other amp (TechnicalPro) also the built in cross over made my mids sounds so much better. I’m using this with full range PA speakers that have upgraded 2500 watt subs, 300 watt mids and 700 watt tweeter horns. My house, I kid you not shakes with this amplifier. The audio is so much more cleaner and there is very little to no buzzing noises which is also a plus. I do however have concerns over the cooling fan, there’s just 1 single fan cooling this, now I don’t know what temperature the over temp cutoff kicks in because I can’t find any info about it’s threshold, so the 1 single fan doesn’t seem to be enough cooling even in a climate controlled environment, the temperature does get up to 138 degrees Fahrenheit when I’m pulling about a little more then half power, but I have no idea if that’s normal or not since there’s absolutely no information about temperature. Other than that it preforms well and so far no issues have occurred yet."

    Great amp

    "I had a Gemini 5000 watt amp hooked up two two dual 15inches three way speakers and it didn’t really pack much punch to the speakers so I ordered this amp and it delivers speakers sound cleaner and amp actually makes them work in my opinion you can’t go wrong with this amp"

    "Incredible Amp! Most affordable Amp with this much power on the market."

    — Michael G. (5/5)

    Awesome purchase

    "Bought this amplifier to feed two passive subwoofer for a mid size church. It provided exactly the kind of power we were looking for, definitely would buy again."

    — Eliel C. (5/5)

    Plenty of power

    "More powerful than expected! Running 2, 18 inch Rockville subs. My only improvement would be to have 1/4 inch inputs. All of my other equipment use 1/4 inch. Had to get special adapters for the amp."

    — Brandon H. (4/5)

    "OMG this amp is POWERFULL"

    — Harold (5/5)

    Powerful amps!

    "Wow this amp puts out some serious power! I tried it out in two rooms, my music room with two 10"" NVX VCW 1000rms each and then in my home theater on two 12"" Rockville k6. In both rooms the rpa16 pushed the subs with force. In my living room, I had been using a Crown xli2500 and to some degree it did push my subs, however, compared to the rpa16, the xli2500 didn't have enough power even though it should. I just ordered a 2nd rpa16, that's how much I like it."

    RPA16 10000

    "We installed the RPA16 10000 watt amp with 4 RSG 15’s in an indoor sports facility that’s 20,000 square feet and it sounds amazing. Plenty of power and base. Definitely surpassed our expectations. We will continue to buy Rockville"

    — Joe R. (5/5)

    Amazing amp

    "I'm running a couple of car subs in my music room, two 10s nvx vcw and had them on a crown xli1500. The crown didn't have enough power to push the subs to make them shine. Bought the rpa16, hooked it up and wow! The rpa16 woke up the subs! They hit loud and clear. Far better than the crown. The crown is more expensive than the rockville btw. I'm keeping the rockville. Highly recommend"
