[QUOTE="RuinedAng3l, post: 6144413, member: 602103"] I think the universal definition of loud has definately changed... I cant think of one 200 watt setup that would be painful to withstand. And ive had several friends run T-line enclosures with 300 watt Memphis amps. Dont get me wrong, they were pretty loud for what it was, and they sounded really good doing it, but it takes serious wattage and amperage to reach the insanity level which is now the definition of loud. I run 4000 watts of RF Power Series amps, which are no lightweights when it comes to current draw, with a 300 amp alt + 2 Kinetic 2400s as a daily. None of my friends can stand it, but i love the "eye socket rattling" bass. There are plenty of members on this site that have insane dailys. And a good number of those members have serious current draw. If the amps were not pulling the amperage, why would people be running dual, triple, and even (very rarely) quad alternators. We'll stay low and say that its 2 200amp alts. Thats 400ampsx12v = 4800 watts. 60% eff would be 2880. 746 true RMS watts will always equal a HP, the definitions havent changed, everythings just been super-sized.... [/QUOTE]
