[QUOTE="audiolife, post: 8885, member: 541383"] prolly peak power.....as long as they don't specify rms or peak i think you will have trouble "saying" it's a rippoff...many amps are rated by peak power rating while producing a 1 k test tone which is pretty easy on the amp plus they dont tell you what power was going to the amp to achieve that rating........in a sense it is false but until regulations go into effect on company specs they can figure about anything is 1000 watts. like i said before i have seen amps use heat they produce to achieve its power rating......totally useless but able to say..its like saying a pyramid amp does a 1000 watts ..only way is if it gets hit with a lighting bolt and the amp doesnt survive..but for that instant it may have very well "done" (hehe) a thousand watts. 3 years ago i heard the government was going to regulate these specs in 2003 ..so far i haven't heard anything to truely say they will.
