[ramos 5,000+ posts]

Man I still got the birthsheet around here somewhere for an original Fosgate power 1000 from like 89' or 90' . You want to see some under rating of an amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Let me dig around and find that bastage. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

whats up with the site, it doesnt work anymore?

site not working for me here right now either. benchmarks are a lot of marketing though. after the amp gets warm/cold goes through some power cycles things change and the bench test isn't that accurate anymore... keep in mind these are also done under ideal conditions in a lab, not real world conditions... some are better than others at least; ie kicker's ****, i mean it's just a number on some paper and that's ALL you get. at least fosgate puts voltage and some other metrics. how often do you see a fosgate rated at 13.8 or 14.4 even though? seems they are always pushing them up a bit more... something they need to do a lot more now that they've gone mainstream/best buy and quality has suffered...

my rockford 1501bd says 1600 w RMS @ 2 ohms with 14.4V.

my rockford 851x didn't come with a birthsheet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

there is a new t10001bd at my local shop that has 1596 w RMS @ 1 ohm with 14.4V.

my PG 1200.1's sheet: 1454.7x1 @ 4 ohms

500.2: 530.38x1 @ 4 ohms

no pics, sorry...my neg scanner took a crap.

My new Hifonics amp didn't come with one. I think it's because a lot them only do their rated wattage at 1 ohm. I'm pretty sure I'm getting over 400 watts at 4 ohm, but thats all the current subs can handle.
