that is wat i hear. AQ says when they post rms values they arent the actual. i searched maybe 5 sites to find different handlin rms of my 15 and they all were close cept the aq web site. it had about 150-250 rms difference. and i cant seem to find many websites postin values for the aq1200d. ive been usin my friend rf1000 cause he destroyed his cvrs.
