Im confused on the max power deal...for example is my Orion 1200d 1200RMS 2400MAX is it rated at 480(1200x.55) or 1320 (2400x.55)? Ralph keeps throwing the term MAX power around, are they seriously going to use the MAX ratings or are they just substituing it for the Term RMS?

RMS....

By max he mean highest RMS at any impedance.

I suspect that Atomic will rebadge the RF T4000 and call is 1200@1ohm LOL!

all this changes as far as the Manufacturers is instead of stretching the truth about what their amps do at 4 they will lie about what it does at 1/2/.5 wherever their amps do the most power...this rating system really didnt fix anything, all it did was fvck the guys that have spent 1k-2k on amps batteries and such and now they are put in an insane class. I agree get DB Drag here...

I hope they get this power thing straight....I guess if I run SS I'll have to wait and see what to run...If my Z1's are still rated at 750 each I should be able to run two in the 601-1800 ..or 3 IA 20.1's?

Louisiana CRX...your Z1s now get rated at 1200...so with one you are in the SS 601-1800 and 2 puts you in the 3000+ class. that sucks...looks like SB is the place to be next year at USACi

Edit...the Z1s do, do 3000 @ 1 right

your amps will be published ratings * the .5, 1 or 2 ohm, whichever is the lowest they publish.

1/2 ohm rating multiplied by .25

1 ohm rating multiplied by .40

2 ohm rating multiplied by . 55

Mine didn't come with a book...but the Z1's from what I read are 3000 at 1 ....the IA's are 1800 at 1 ...I'm looking at trading off one of the 20.1's for two Kicker 1250.1's ...I'm not sure of their rating...I'm guessing 1250 at 1

i'll still be all right, it just pisses me off that for 2 years now I build|buy|sell JUST to have the rules change at the end of the season. It is teh suxor. I'm supporting my local org next year i think.

Its looking like two kicker 1250's and a single 20.1....lol

Kicker must of bought Ralph that benz.....

IA doesnt post a .5 ohm rating...so there for their will get the 1800 @ 1 ohm rating which means 1800x.4=720 Puts you in the 601-18

Kickers older amps that carry the 1 ohm rating are the only ones it helps...The new ones ZX line all have 2 ohm ratings which kills them...
