[QUOTE="Alrojoca, post: 7875029, member: 638714"] Thanks guys! from what I remember going back to 2005- 2006, the specs given by some manufacturers back then were modest and under rated, or using a different method to test them. The THD, s/n ratio even the power were just numbers given to give a number since back then they were not restrictions like these days with CEA etc. I think the JBL was made by Crown back then at least the GTO line. One advantage with the Kappa is the sub amp can handle 2 ohms and 300 watts. The JBL with 6 channels once the last 2 ch are bridged, 300 but at 4 ohms. The dynamic power out put on the JBL is given at 800 watts, peak is not given, while the peak power on the Kappa is given at 1200 watts. This is what is confusing since adding just the RMS for both at 2 ohms and max sub power the JBL seems to have 20 watts more than the Kappa. I guess since I decided to install the amp in a very accessible area, I could try them both and report later on this thread but as one of you guys said I may not notice the difference. The only difference is the JBL will put out 300 w bridged to the sub and the Infinity 200 w to the sub since it is a 4 ohm sub. [/QUOTE]
