Birthsheet translation

[ieatdrt 10+ year member]

I have a Kicker sx500.2 and KX 400.1. The 400.1 is rated at 460W which obvioulsy is at 2ohms and is easy to figure that one out. The SX500.2 is 525, but it's a 2 ch. amp and near as I can figure that's the rating bridged at 4ohms. How do I translate that into what's coming out each channel at 4ohms or 2 ohms? Is it possible or do I have to whip out the MM and do some fancy probing. Why doesn't Kicker do a birthsheet with each channel spec'd? I probably sound like an idiot but I'm curious.

Stereo @ 2ohms = 262.50

Stereo @ 4ohms = 131.25

Mathematical guess + common sense = those numbers. Not sure if they would be 100% accurate though.

tRiGgEr: I was thinking along those lines, but I've learned to NEVER assume ANYTHING. Thanx for the reassurance.
