[QUOTE="r0llinlacs, post: 7486404, member: 636634"] None of you realize those ratings are at 14.4 volts, which you never see, especially under load, unless you've spend 500+ on a 16v alternator alone, and a few nice batteries and caps and of course all the proper wiring. They aren't really "over" rated, they are more "properly" rated, as to say they produce their actual advertised power at around 12 volts. So your "1200 watt" t10001bd is really 1000 watts at roughly 12 volts. If your electrical system is beefy enough to output 14.4volts under a roughly 90 amp load, you may see 1200 watts. Volts x Amps = Watts (RMS) [/QUOTE]
