[QUOTE="Harrison486, post: 857412, member: 560198"] Ok... heres my take on it (I may be wrong so wait for someone like Jmac to respond or something) Anyway, to get the 1500 watts that the brutus supposedly does, you would have to get a reading of about 38.7 volts from a multimeter. Now lets say your highest normal listening volume is 30. Set your headunit to 30, put on all your normal settings. Put in the test tone CD and mesure the voltage. If you can adjust to voltage to around 38.7, then you will be fine, granted that you dont go over a volume of 30 or mess with your settings too much. However, if you can't get a reading anywhere near 38.7, then you know the Brutus is overated... I may be an idiot, and I am sorry if this whole post was pointless... [/QUOTE]
