[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 6134, member: 540940"] I believe Manville Smith of JL audio has said JL typically tries to rate thier amps pretty close to actual output. I'm sure there are variances either way, but I don't believe JL's are drastically under-rated. It's pretty much been established though that JL has some of the best amps on the market when you factor in price, performance, versatility, durability and longevity. The new class D line is sort of the next generation of amps in that they maintain their power not only at different voltages, but also at different resistances. The 500/1 for example is rated for 500 watts at 1.5 ohm, but it will also put out 500 watts at 4 ohms. If you take the comparable RF bd500.1 which is rated for 500 watts at 2 ohms, it will only put out 300 at 4 ohms. [/QUOTE]
