Kicker is using RMS power ratings. use the same ratings to compare amplifiers. RMS, at the same impedance. There's a lot that goes into making a good amplifier. If you want to learn more about what makes an amplifier, read this article: http://www.wickedcases.com/caraudio/amplifiers.html |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 7782 Registered: Dec-03 | not really. I just got tired of seeing the same questions over and over again, so I wrote some articles that answer a lot of the questions to save repeating myself. you're welcome to answer all of these questions. If you can do it, it'll save me the effort. Then I can spend moe time working on my car, and less time being generous to others. That translates to more time beating the snot out of Fords on the street and at the strip. |

If you were go to ask anyone else in the real world, they'd charge you $65/hr and never give clear cut answers. So let's just all get along and be greatful. |

KickeD Unregistered guest | Quality manufacturers underate their amps unlike Cheap brands using MAX/PEAK ratings. Stick with good brands if u can.. it WILL save u headaches and whatnot. |
