And none have ever been able to back up any of their claims with a double blind test. I choose amplifiers based on the quality of the materials used to build them. I think the only time you should concern yourself with amplifier "sound" is if you're saturating the crap out of the output devices, a guitar amp would be an example. If you don't overload the amplifier then choose whatever is built well and provides necessary power. |

Since they don't use "max" power nor false numbers, they all seem to put out as stated. The car audio market needs to standardize, so that 100w = 100w regardless of brand/manufacturer. |
