[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 7866842, member: 540940"] In many cases that's probably true, but in this case I think it's the primary factor. It doesn't sound terrible simply because it's a low quality amp. The PH2500D would probably sound very similar to the kicker. In terms of value I agree, but when you're trying to compare one amp to another the fact that the Boss isn't even CLOSE to its ratings makes it impossible for someone who doesn't understand the reality of the situation to make a valid comparison and set a reasonable expectation. True, but the negative impact on SQ due to that power difference would be just as noticeable (or more noticeable) than a decrease in SPL. On the contrary IMO. Play around with the settings all you want. You're simply not going to get close to the same performance at half the power. [/QUOTE]
