[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 2541989, member: 550915"] The board only dictates the layout of the circuit. It doesn't mean that the components on the board are the same in tolerance OR value. Amps of the same architecture have pretty much the same layout. It's the components (resistors, transistors, capacitors, etc...) that actually determine the specs and performance of the amp from there. Perfect examples were the old Orion and Phoenix Gold amps (late 80s early 90s). The PG MPS-2500 and the MS-2125 had the same board. The amp specs were totally different though, because the components on the board were different. Same for the MPS-2220/2240 and MS-250/275. The Orion HCCA225 was the same board as the XTR275, the HCCA250 same as the XTR2150 and the HCCA2100 the same as the XTR2250. A lot the modern apps mentioned are built off a 3rd party generic board and the company whose name will be on the final product will spec the components on the board to make it their own. No different than RE or TC Sounds or Image Dynamics using their baskets and motors to make subs for several different companies. The soft parts and thus the final specs of the subs are totally different even though the frame and magnet look the same. [/QUOTE]
