Where are you starting from? 1W? 10kW?

Can your driver(s) take that?
In terms of DBs, the rule of thumb goes that doubling your power will get you 3db, so, I'm assuming if you turn that into percentages.
800/2200 = x/100
You'd gain 36% more power, which, 36% of 3 db is a gain of 1db + change. (My math got like 1.090909, repeating.)

from what ive heard, the audiopipe is a little overrated and the audioque is underrated. go with the audioque

Aren't those rated at 2K...?
the audiopipe is not overrated. the amp will do every bit of 3000 rms. the audioque is underrated yes.
you probably will not see much dif. between the 2 amps.

if you had 100 watt then yes there would have been a nice difference //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
10*log(3000/2200) = 1.35db
That's assuming their power output is exactly as rated.
That also doesn't take into account the driver's power compression at those power levels.
Assuming they are realistically rated and actual power output doesn't vary too greatly from their rated power in either direction, after power compression, you will be under 1db of difference.

pizzas not for breakfast!
basically to your ear, not much of a difference. i'd go with the audioque, they seem to be really solid amps.
