underrated amps.....

Ya Pioneer Premier Amps are very underrated. I haven't even tried out any new MTX lately, maybe its about time for me to ditch the JBL....... I like my Planet Audio tho.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/satan.gif.9c6a335ed7aeeed3ee273e573f1fcaac.gif

I guess you're right. My theory that the tester just combined the power x 2 for the 240 doesn't work on the bridged spec.

That's aburd. I wouldn't call that a tremendously under-rated amp. With specs and measurements like that I'd call it one of 2 things--either VERY poorly RATED or VERY poorly TESTED.

i remember seeing an amp that was rated 50x2@4ohm and 100x1@4ohm. they benched the amp at 1ohm and got close to 1600watts RMS. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif forgot what amp it was though...

well look at the Orion HCCA's (haha I beat Alaxan to it) the HCCA225G4 rates at 2x25 at 4 ohms but then something like 400X1 at 1 ohm, but it really is somewhere near 550 watts

I believe the old optidrive 50c was rated for 25x2@4 and 800x1 @ 1/2, and VERY under-rated all the way around.
