[QUOTE="i2ain2thunder, post: 7293673, member: 631331"] Well I guess I didn't specify, what I meant by its legit was that I thought MA Audio rated it legitly. Ratings on amps very based on how the company chooses to test them within certain parameters. Some places jack the amps to the point where they are smoking while burping 1 note for a fraction of a second. What you wind up with there is someone advertising 4000 watts when the amp really prob only does like 400 watts rms. The best way to tell how an amp will perform is to look at the fuse rating. MA Audio put in 6x40amp fuses there for if they tested it at 15.0 volts thats exactly correct. If you notice my voltage on the amp in the above picture I believe it is at like 15.0 thats the reason I say it is legit. Do I think it will output 3600watts rms? Hell no they never do what they are rated from a lab test while playing music, however the fact that they didn't overrate the amp makes me think it will perform close to that hence I usually chose an amp to be rms rated around 100watts more then the subs are rated for, simply because they never perform what they are rated for.
