they all have their own BS way of measuring what their products can do.
They can plug a subwoofer into the wall and it will last for 3 seconds and say "our sub can handle XXX watts RMS". They don't have to tell you how they came to this conclusion or how long it can take XXX watts. That's why it is legal and they can get away with it.

Ok. See. That is what I figured. For there amps. I figured they ran it at high voltage,clipping hard at like 100hz

Well. I am not 100% sure if I am right on this...But arent all amps rated for there power at a certain frequency?
Like my RD 7500.1...
Isn't it rated for that 7,500watts at 1 ohm @ XX frequency?
Is that right or completely wrong?
Most people only clamp at 50-60hz for accuracy but its possible to clamp higher with good quality true rms clamps

So If you were to clamp at lets say 30 hertz. Your amp wouldn't be making its RMS correct?
about 50hz is the frequency that digital multimeters are most accurate with, that is the frequency I use to set my gains.
Not smart enough to tell you why it's the most accurate frequency, just know thats how u do it.

they advertise peak ratings not rms , the amps may spike for a spilt second on a ocsillocope at they're peak ratings and thats where they rate them at

But how do they get that peak power? Is it at a specific frequency that an amp puts out its max power?
