[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8648396, member: 650438"] You literally can run a 100000000000 watt amp on your stock setup if you just set the gains via voltage drop, just because you have that much doesn't mean you need to use all of it. However you will open up your future prospects of any system upgrade with that much power on tap and selling the amp will be a lot easier as well. hook up a multi-meter to your amp pos and negative, play some music, turn the amp up until your voltages start dropping from 13.8-14.4 to 12.6V and stop there or wherever your subs tap out or your own musical preferences are even before dropping down to 12.6v. Literally makes zero sense paying way more for way less power. wrong and wrong, you've never owned one so STFU lol. The efficiency tanks only when the amp is maxed out however the AP has the same efficiency as most of all these other cheap budget amps so it really doesnt matter yes they are all cheap inefficient budget amps. What does matter with a lot of headroom the amp doesn't tank efficiency because its not at max capacity meaning it will be WAY more efficient than any other on the list because its barely lifting a finger to power his subs. Only amps that are halfway decent on efficiency is the jbl and pioneer on the list the rest are just as bad as AP when it comes to efficiency. [/QUOTE]
