[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8411081, member: 650438"] No its the right specs, It'll get to proper voltage only at very high gain and high head unit volume (due to the 8 volts to .2 volt pentiometer vs 6 volt to .2V with the ppi) But I seriously Dont feel having everything up that high is safe for long since Its basically past clipping point. (used a piezo tweeter and it buzzed a little bit before reaching 23v on the dmm and the sound in music tests reflected it too, distortion started happening. When pushed that hard, it does get louder than the JL and almost at the ppi's level but safety wise, i'm not gonna do it because at normal levels, it was already moderately warm. However the sound is very smooth midrange and trebles, tamed some of the 6khz sharpness I had with the ppi and got more clarity. Its a different sound from the JL. I'm pretty sure thats how the manufacturer wanted their amp. These amps feel like they would do better in an all out sq build. Just testing out some dayton audio 4" and transition from the mids to the A-pillars instead of in the kick panels. Need to expand that soundstage. I might Gut my doors and do a flush mount 8" silverflute midbass. Or maybe just go all out and get some scan speaks for the 4"s and some ring radiators. [/QUOTE]
