This post will be updated to keep members informed of amps that are rerated as well as amps that are just "confusing" to rate or hard to get data on because of age, etc...... It will be updated on a regular basis

We have checked 18 Atomic amps at 7 different retailers across the United States and found 18 of 18 amplifiers have internal components other than those specified on the cases and in the manufacturers product literature. While this is a most serious issue and requires immediate action we must take into account the members who have unwittingly purchased this product based on the incorrect information provided.

At this time ALL ATOMIC AMPLIFIERS will be automatically rated and placed in the UNLIMITED POWER CLASS of each division. Competitors current points standings will not be affected nor will their ability to compete at finals. Competitors with Atomic amps may move up to the unlimited class at finals regardless of the power class they qualified in.

This is awesome!!!

We love seeing this updated.

It would be even better if there were a section in this thread that states which amps have been protested or in the process of being clarified.

Thanks again for the update.

Bump....Some clarification needed on the AB XD3000...the rules specifically state that the highest 4 ohm rating by the manufacturer will be used. So since AB has it listed at 700 watts @ 4ohm on their website, that should be the rating. This situation is no different than the AB400.1 issue from earlier this year. I hope people realized this and aren't looking to fit that amp in 0-600 at finals.

Wasn't it rerated by usaci already at 600w @ 4 ohms

not 0-600, but.......

hay i have been in IRAQ since feb of this year but didnt get to see all of what was going on with AB400.1.what was the rating on them?

so the 400.1 is rated at 1000 at 4 ohms so if i am going to run 4 400.1s what class will i be in.Than what is the rateing on the IA 40.1?

40.1 is 900@4

Wha tis the ab 500.1 rated at

500.1 has no rating bob wont do ratings anymore do to past experiences with his amps being rated thn slammed

Yo k,Your right.the treo amps are not to be found on their website nor ampguts.I swear I saw it before.

500.1 just cause it is american bass probly 3k at 4 ohms lol

oh, I see.

This is sooo confusing to a newbie like myself. Needing clarification---

My amp is rated by the manufacturer to have output power at 14.4v in the following:

1 x 500W @ 4 ohms
1 x 1000W @ 2 ohms
1 x 2000W @ 1 ohm

Now, I'll be wiring the amp to two dual 2s, making them share 1000w @ 2ohm....right?

Well, since the amp is rated at 500 @ 4ohms, will I be in the 0-600 class?

That's what I'm understanding from this thread.

Input please.
