[QUOTE="///M5, post: 1210504, member: 562975"] Yes, as I stated earlier. There is no standard for the specs put out by the amplifier manufacturers. You measure distortion using the 47-50th harmonic usually and they can arbitrarily pick a few that are not the norm to make their spec better (and falsify more gain). Again there is no linearity spec and if so maybe it is logarithmic as again they don't have a standard. Think about it, would be asking these questions had you bought a Pyramid amp that was 1000w for $75?? No, you would know it is a POS. Autobahn has the advantage of a huge distribution network since they have had creative marketing in the past. Therefore their prices are higher than some of the other "off" or spec cheating brands, but you are just paying markup for their distribution chain. Go ahead and keep it, but I guarantee if you get any more serious about your car or listen to someone else's Boston's installed correctly with a good amp you will be [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG] sorry later on. If you don't mind wasting your money keep it, in the long run it just isn't the right choice. [/QUOTE]
