hifonics are good, they are a bit underrated, they do around 80% of there rated power.... |

Someone on ca.com had their 1606 benched at 1300w. Not sure on the voltage, but that would indicate that 20% over rated is about right. Still a pretty good amp considering the price. |

bench tests always vary. Ever seen two birthsheets that are exactly the same measured power?? I'm sure such a thing has happened somewhere, but I've never seen it.
Just because one amp does xxxx watts, doesn't mean the next one off the line won't do 20% more.
Also, unless the power's measured using an 0-scope to monitor clipping, THD and the Voltage being supplied - who knows how accurate the measurement really was.
So - it seems they're a little over-rated, but close enough to be pretty good amps (power-wise) for the cost. |
