[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8315841, member: 650438"] Peak numbers is when they run the amp at 20 volts at max clipping, the number it makes right before it dies basically useless you'll never ever see that power. You'll be lucky to see RMS power. Reason why is because of a thing called box/impedance rise, wire down to 1 ohm, you'll probably still be at 2-3 ohms after rise. You need to account in voltage drops too. Music is also dynamic not a 40hz tone it goes up and down. Out of a 1000 rms amp you'll most likely see 200-500 actual watts rms on music after accounting in every physical factor. First off, What are your goals here? Sound quality? loudness? Both? Or insane balls to the walls crazy? Also what head unit are you running? Do you have a Digital Sound Processor? What kind of box are you putting those p3s in? Give us a budget and we'll recommend you good stuff. Hifonics is budget stuff. They are power hogs, inefficient and barely get close to rated power. The zeus series are junk its like buying boss audio when you touch the zeus series. Trust me, I'm running two of them now, and if i can i'd jump for quality gear.
