1200 watts for $56.99! - To good to be true? Cheap amp tested: SMD AD-1 Amplifier Dyno

I remember when I bought a pyramid 800w amp, I was still a damn noob and I thought that amp sucked ass, so traded it for a pioneer 760w amp lol that pyramid was 50$ on sale, and I thought I was getting 800w

Side note: The maximum theoretical power that an amplifier could produce at full clipping (square wave) is double the clean RMS. In the real world it is usually about 30-50% more. So an amp that does 50 watts per channel clean could put out 65-75 watts clipped and distorted to hell. However, the peak SPL wouldn't increase by this same amount, if at all.

Curious how you think these companies that grossly over rate their amps are doing their ratings. You reckon they're just making it up? Squaring maximum voltage?

Simply making it up

So much for CEA ratings

So if I find a zed made boss amp will you test it and blow peoples minds of a boss amp doing rated???

I would not mind running a boss amp when zed made them at all
