[QUOTE="audioslave420, post: 8832196, member: 688330"] Bewith, Luxman, Carrozzeria (Pioneer), Addzest (Clarion), and Phass are all still in business. Nice try though, a little research goes a long way. Yeah, noticed the date after I replied… I did say that China was capable of and does produce top tier products. That’s not what we’re talking about here. We’re talking about the ones that make it to our shores. So you’re saying you’d put up an 1100w Boss amp against an 1100w Zapco? The Richard Clark argument doesn’t apply here, blind alley. We’re talking about cheap parts slapped together for global mass consumption. The fact of the matter is Boss Audio rates an amp at 1100w when in reality it tops out at like 200w. That amp will never put out 1100 watts, not even on its best day. If Zapco says their amp puts out 1100w, it 100% puts out every bit of that 1100w (probably more). That’s what I meant by not all watts are created equal. Of course a pure undistorted (not clipped) watt is just like every other watt. It’s just a unit of measurement, like horsepower (in fact, 745.7 watts = 1 horsepower).
