Like they acually dont care about peak ratings but on the amp itself it has the peak rating printed on it.

[QUOTE="Hellrazor1200, post: 8360437, member: 662836"] I sat on my phone yesterday while i was sick as hell doing nothing.... I do my everyday research an get an impulse to start researching cheap audio brands. Not cheap like pioneers cheap crap that they sell or sony or rockford fosgate(just kidding)[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] I started researching Dual Audio.
