[QUOTE="maylar, post: 752347, member: 541144"] Ugh. What are your intentions? Are you trying to pre-test a used amp before committing to buying it? Practically... get your car setup with all wiring ready to rock & roll. Hook the amp up, crank the gain up and have a listen. Does it ~really~ matter that it puts out rated power if it's loud enough and sounds good? See if anything rattles. No smoke is a good sign. No funky smells. But unless you're buying used high end stuff for lots of money, I wouldn't bother benching it. Just plug it in and see that it works as you want it to. [/QUOTE]
