onelivinlarge Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 they put that rating on there as a sales tactic and the amp will produce that power on a non reactive ohm resistor and and like 15 volts even if it does it for 1 second with a clipped ass square wave the amp did do that power and they can then advertise it what this man said Quote 1) lookj to left 2) NOTICE BLKUE 3) ME > Y9OU 4) that is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingramcaraudio Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Rockfords power line and Jl slash line rate rms like the companies you listed not all mainstream stuff is rated by max. Okay, this isn't an arugument topic where people fuss about which lines list RMS and Peak...we don't care which companies do and don't. The OP just wanted to know why the companies that do advertise Peak actually do so. Sorry then to market and make more money.

skittlesRgood Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 i call it frizzle power. how much power the amp does for 1 second before it bursts into flames.

canderton01 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 i dont really get what youre saying. the 1800 on your rockford amp probably means 1800w peak. my friend has an mtx amp that 600 rms 1800 peak. go off the rms rating when choosing an amp and if its not cea compliant then its probably overrated Not true. It just means the company didn't pay to have the CEA certification. There are still many good amps that will do rated that aren't CEA certified. AQ and Crescendo are two brands off the top of my head.

Torres Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 ^^^bingo. more mainstream brands tend to get the CEA certification. but just cuz it doesn't have it, doesn't mean it doesn't put out it's rated power. sundown, DC, IA, SD, etc all have been proven to produce their power. that's when research and more research comes into play. i prefer to buy an amp that impresses me in real case scenarios/installs rather than what's on paper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylank811 Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Wow I didn't expect such a reaction to my useless thread haha. Yeah I guess I already knew the answer, but here's where the BS power ratings really get me. Guy: How many watts are you running? Me: Ehh, about 1000w total. Guy: Oh, well I guess that's good. I'm running 2500w. Me: What equipment? Guy: Sony Xplod. Okay, when I said I was running 1000w, that was RMS. NOT THE MAX RATING ON THE FRONT OF THE AMP. If that were the case, I would have a 2280w system. And I bet my system not only sounds 10x cleaner quality wise, but also is 10x louder.
