[QUOTE="Braidwood, post: 1011009, member: 561875"] I am back with another installment of the random audio discussion to get our minds off of work/school/being bored @ home! Today's topic: LIES! How can a company like Pyle or Pyramid, even Sony advertise that their amps, speakers, and subs reach unreal wattage levels when it is physically and even theoretically impossible. Could that not be considered faulty advertising? I saw a Pyramid 1000W amp @ an audio store the other day. They HAVE TO KNOW that it will never reach 1000W even in the perfect circumstances even for the smallest fraction of a second. They know this because they stick 2 x 25amp fuses on it. In a perfect 14.4 volt car, the fuses would pop before they got anywhere near 1000W, so 1000W is impossible as is. Watts = Voltage * Amperes. 1000W = 14.4V * 69.44A. At 12V you would need 83A. The highest the amp could put out before the fuses blew would be 720W @ 14.4 V. We all know that the amp would not even put that out though. Could Sony advertise their new HD television does 1080i when they know it only could do 720? People would be angry! discuss...... [/QUOTE]
