This newbie is confused about Outlaw 1050 Specs

Anonymous	Posted on Monday, October 06, 2003 - 20:51 GMT Hi this is a newbie question. I heard the Outlaw 1050 mentioned over & over here so I went to their website to check out it's specs. What does the following mean? Why is it rated at 3x65W & not 6x65W? - 6 Discrete amplifiers - Rated at 3 x 65 watts (20 Hz - 20 KHz, <0.05% distortion, All 6 channels driven)
Smitty	Posted on Tuesday, October 07, 2003 - 13:27 GMT Have a look at the Outlaw FAQ for the 1050, the 6th question down has some information on your question. BTW, Sound&Vision magazine measured the 1050 to be approx. 6x62W in it's testing. http://www.outlawaudio.com//support/faq_topics.html#
Hawk	Posted on Tuesday, October 07, 2003 - 14:15 GMT Anon: I have wondered that too. Can't imagine what they are thinking, but most mass market receivers are only rated two channels at a time. However, Sound & Vision magazine rated the Outlaw 1050 and found that it produced 62 wpc x 5, with 0.074% THD: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Hollow/3401/ratevsac.htm
