[QUOTE="cwzilly, post: 325547, member: 550175"] Unlike home sterio the car sterio industry hasn't adopted a universal standard power measurment, so this allows some manufactures to claim high power rattings (HINT: keenwood, and Pioneer). Thats why manufactures advertise there amps that way; they try to "steal" customers. I'm not sure what "maximum" power means, but it dosn't mean thats how much the amp puts out at peaks (contempted to popularity beliefe). Maximum power is measured at a higher voltege level than most cars put out, and it also allows a 10% distortion level; basically this means they can measure the amp as if it had more power, but when compared to a "real environment" a car has a lower voltage than this measure, and 10% distortion dosn't sound good [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif[/IMG] Do you get what i'm saying?
