[QUOTE="Plater, post: 10280, member: 541625"] That is true and i have seen these spec sheets with the amps. The numbers that they produce tend to be accurate but still. Don't quote me but the numbers they use to advertise tend to be high or they measure peak power and add the two channels together to give total power. Another trick that i have heard of being used is the input power or the amount of power drawn by the amp. Which most amps are not very effeicent because if they where they wouldn't heat up. Also is it really nesssiary to power up subs with kilowatts of power or to run them with a clean 50W RMS signal. One of the main differences between a good amp and a cheap amp is not the output transistor configuration but the power supply used to power the output transistors. [/QUOTE]
