A 1k watt Amp doesn't make 1K watts all the time, (unless its class A but that a whole other bag) only when it receives enough power and enough signal will it "amplify" that signal up to 1k watts of power. As soon as the song changes or you lower the volume the amp is no longer producing 'rated' power. You may have over 4k RMS rated but rarely if ever will you ever see full rated output unless you play a mult-freq test tone at whatever gain % you set your volume to.Edit to add: You added a video - What is your Vmeter connected to? Battery direct or to your HU?</blockquote>
