[QUOTE="Lonesome00, post: 8564876, member: 672925"] So testing them is not all that different from what I have been doing. There is a local install guy that is a bit of a savant. I am impressed with his knowledge, but not his people skills. I thought testing them was as simple as hooking them up on my testing cart/shop stereo and we are good. But he explained to me that there is soooo much more to it. Like, is it putting out the correct power for what it is rated? Is the power output in line with the input? It is ready to let go or does it have a few more years in it... and so on and so on. So, I figured it was time to get some different opinions. I do not know any other audio type people to ask. Most of the car guys I hang out with are more concerned with horse power then how there stereo sounds. [/QUOTE]
