[QUOTE="luvinthebass, post: 1790294, member: 558149"] ok i want 250 watts out of my amp, it's a lightning audio B4.250.2 2 channel amp and i have it bridged so i figured the voltage i need is 31.6 AC volts to get that 250 watts and i didn't even come close, best i could get was 29.5 AC volts and that equals 217.5 watts rounded up...218 watts. and i used a 50 hz test tone and my bass boost on max and it also has a 50 hz frequency boost and my head unit volume was on 22/30 and it was on the EQ Super Bass which is what i use and to get that 29.5 AC i had to have the gain on max, guess this amp is overrated and how come when i was playin music the AC voltage i was gettin was like 15 AC-22 AC, does that mean my amp will put out 218 watts at taht volume number anytime, i'm confused, and yes it's a pioneer head unit. is all that figuring AC volts correct? cuz i know the formula and i'm pretty sure i'm right.
