yea, but the biggest question is, does it do rated? CEA compliance started out as a good idea, but has just turned into another marketing skeam

The cost of getting a product compliant prob isn't worth it to most audio companies.

it just hurts to know its being spread about it. hell the only one that was cea compliant was a g-6000 that did 3k@2 13.8v rated...

You have to remember that CEA certified or compliant is only a paid for logo. Nothing more nothing less.

not at all... it started out as an idea back in like '05, to make all ratings on an equal basis, but now it has just turned into another marketing scheme

the real question is does it do rated with out 10%thd

 

[mast240 10+ year member]

it never really meant anything... cuz there was never a quality assurance control put on it, and there were no real "standardized" procedures for rating, marketing, or use of the logo... companies just bought the logo to throw on their equipment as a marketing ploy... that's what i've been trying to say

Audiopipe is absolute garbage. It fills the niche of people that will tolerate inefficient, dirty amps because they are cheap. That's it. It should not even be a choice for anyone who prides their self on quality sound or spl. It should only be for high schoolers who just want to sound louder than the next guy.
