[QUOTE="Unregistered, post: 15220"] I always wondered about crunch amps. my neighbor got one from ubid, the 2100 which suppose to put out 400/ch mono bridged. The amp looked nice, but felt light. the aluminum chassis is very lite weight. opening up the chassis revealed a smallish power supply. he hooked up the amp to a single 8 inch audiobahn stuffed into a .5 cubic foot cabinet. the first thing we noticed was the excessive dimming of the lighted meters. the amp could not control the woofer, it kept on fluttering. we could not get much volume before the woofer started fluttering. we substituted out the crunch with a carver amp and noted immediately the controlled sub cone movement. bass was impressive. this tells us that regardless of crunch's stance of not using overrated power numbers, it is very obvious that this amp would be lucky to be pushing 25watts/channel or 100 watts mono. definitely not an amp to drive subs.
