how loud is it? looking for something that can over power 4 or 5 running city buses

It can get pretty loud, but I'm not sure about over powering 4 or 5 running city buses. When we play it in the garage with the door open, neighbors across the street can sing along...lol.

As I live on a (normally) quiet mountain, I really can't say about the city buses. It can be fairly loud, though. It seems that if you have your windows closed it would be all right for you. But you know, you can always return it if it doesn't do the trick, yes?

It depends on what you listen to. Listening to straight CDs, it has a pretty decent volume. There is much less volume with the bluetooth form, listening to ITunes, Pandora, etc. The volume isn't that great and it gets a bit distorted. I've never listened to the radio, so that I don't know.

At full up it is loud, but not boom box loud. Also, not portable, so good for a large room.

It puts out very high quality sound, but it will not overpower a city bus. It is loud enough that you mom will say, "turn that down now!"

I think it gets pretty loud. I bought it for work and really like it. Love it being Bluetooth and we play from our phones and iPads

First of all it's not really 500 Watts. That's a false total system power. You'd be lucky if it's 20 Watts. Probably would work for 15 to 20 people max.

Yes I have 2 of them on 14 watts each and they get pretty loud. Just don't over power them

This won't have enough power for all those and be very loud. I have one hooked to 4 speakers and a woofer but it didn't have enough kick, so I I took the woofer off and used a powered sub. Lepai does make one that has a subwoofer output which would probably be a better choice

I don't know how much performance you are looking for but mine is used to run a six speaker set with two 200w 12 in woofers - all are 8 ohm. It gives me far more volume than I could want. However the remote must have line of sight exposure to work.

Anything pushing 400wt perside at 4 ohms should work. I wouldnt go too much over that.

It is bus powered, but also includes a power supply, so you have the option.-Pro Audio Land

I believe so. We have it mounted on a jail transport van, and it is loud enough to warn pedestrians, but not so loud to wake up the neighborhood at night.

I don't know how much power it uses but it was so noisy that I returned it. Good luck.

I don't know. I bought mine to run multiple (8) outside and inside speakers in my shop and patio area. It works well for that purpose. The prior one was a Walmart brand and it was running lots of interference and noise when I went from 4 to 8 speakers. It was only $50 and I am very happy with it's output

we have our sk3005 on our bus conversion & it has worked flawlessly since the day we put it on.have been around most of the country & the only problem we ever had was in a real heavy thunder storm where it went out till it cleared. hell, that happen's here in florida with our house direct set up also. great unit. maybe you coach is getting blown around a bit with the high wind's.

I can't put a number on it, but I would said that it gets pretty loud. The only time I would have trouble hearing it would be when I had my window A/C unit on high and the city bus would pass right under my window at the same time.

Either a low power amp or one which can be bridged. I have 2 pucks in my front seat, and it is plenty. They vibrate solid particles instead of air particles, so the sound moves faster (easier). They are 30w max and can over drive easily.

You should look for something with a little more power. This could power one no problem. 2 it wouldnt be able to be very loud.

I cant answer that. I'm still waiting on electrician to hook it up. I have it running, but not wired to service panel yet. my only opinion so far is it is much noisier than I was expecting. I'm concerned about that with city noise ordinance. overall, I believe it is a good value.

I would suggest an amp. You'll all a lot of the deck to run these properly.
