Not to be an ******* or anything, but how does the meter determine the real winner? I'm tired of build logs and threads where the first phrase out of everyone's mouth is "did you get it metered?".
To truly see who has the "better" audio setup, metering it would have like only a 1/3rd of the significance as to other components such as transient response, abnormal peaks, SQ, rattles in the car, etc. Even if he gets louder with that prefab/loaded box, it's not going to sound like anything pretty. On top of that, it's an AB class amp so it's big bulky, and inefficient for the little amount of power it produces. Anyways, just my .02
