[QUOTE="Haunz, post: 5005730, member: 576010"] A reactive load has capacitance and inductance along with resistance... The reason why it seems that the amp put out more power into that reactive load is because it was 'apparent power' that was being measured... If you accounted for power factor you would see that the amp actually delivered less power then what was measured... You can think of apparent power as energy leaving the amp which is in turn fed back into the amp; so it never really leaves [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
