Is the power rating on this unit accurate...it looks a little exagerated.

It should really say 2000 watts rms. I use it to push 2 18" cabs rated at 1000W each peak and 500 RMS. That's about the most you can push at 8 ohms. You have to match ohms and watts to get adequate power. I made the mistake of purchasing the 4000 watt amp and it could not push the 2 x 18's

I'm not sure what you are asking, but if it is in reference to the horsepower- it really isn't important. I have had no problems concerning power. The unit is awesome!

Hi Dennis, It's overkill as far as capacity but not at the price. You need more battery capacity to deliver the rated power but it will certainly work at a lesser load. It powers my TVs etc. with no issues and they draw much less than 1500 watts. Steve

it should be fine, its not like you are running a very large system. it would certainly take some of the jump out of your power loss if you are having any.

my unit works fine off wall power-- no battery's in unit even---use a meter to see if power is cumming out of the wall adapter.

I've been using it side by side with a digital usage meter provided by my utility company (SMUD) and it is always within 30 Watts (shows 30W less). Not a scientific test though :).

I wouldn't think it matters at all. I have never seen this low a rating- are you sure it isn't 3 amp or 2.5amp ? either way is shouldn't matter- there is probably a fuse to insure no overload. BTW- the one I bought seemed to work for 30 seconds and next thing it wasn't supplying any power at all. I never returned it , just used the old one that wasn't really bad. My alarm system needed a new battery and a fuse.

I will agree with you, the rating seems low. I have them operating on 70 volt lines and am running it to 25 watts without any trouble. I'm sure it can go more. Remember, that 50 watts could be 5 amps...+_ depending on output voltage and load impedance

this one work ok so far no problem...is the same i don't see power increase ...

I just looked at it and the marked rating under max load: 300W/2.5A at 120V

The power on low works fine in fact I can't go too high its too strong & burns, so nothing wrong with the power. Thanks

Honestly, I have no idea. I can't imagine that it is much of a power hog, though. I guess I could measure it...

Don't know what a UPS is, but I certainly have not noticed high power draw issues so I would say no, that is not normal. If UPS is some power strip thingy are you sure your problem does not lie there?

It doesn't seem to require excessive power. Ours is pretty basic and it works fine.

A little, but you compensate with turning it up a little. Make sure you are not using a soft-start router, though. It doesn't like that.

It will power them but it will probably overheat. I would go with a bigger unit than this.

Well it sure looks like it but I dont understand the reviews. I've had no problems with power at all. I have it on the second setting (which they might not have realized it has three) and I'm careful when using it so as not to eat holes in my clothes (sweaters and tshirts alike) honestly my experience has been awesome. And I totally agree with Jan.
