Not sure if this has been posted in here or not but it is great news to those of us in the business of Car Audio and informative to normal consumers:

CEA Standard for amplifier rating!!

God I hate dealing with the "Why does this JL Audio 500w amp cost $599 when i can get a Rockford Punch 1900w amp for $250??"

 

Sounds good to me. Maybe these ebay amps will die a horrible death.

 

bout time!!

 

Maybe people will finally stop buying so much crap and start buying quality products. Ive always liked JL Audio not just for their product but I know alot of the guys at corporate and the engineers. These guys really love music not just making money.

 

Wow... this is good news.....

 

Yea, this is real good news, maybe my friend will quit talking about his sony 1000 W amps, lol.

 

LOL yeah, they suck! Hahaha

If you wanna smack talk I can get you the RMS specs for those amps tomorrow and post em up.

 

hehe...2400W RF punch amp...920RMS..still not too bad at 500~bucks. Still not as good as their old amps that were completely underrated.

 

What, you mean my 10000W Lanzar amp isnt really 10000W???

I wonder if this standard would apply to ALL amps, including factory setups. It would be interesting to see what companies like GM would do with their 500W Monsoon stereos if they had to advertise continuous wattage!!!

 

I will stick with my revolution 1500.1 thats stable to 1/2 ohm.
it makes my 15 Brahma very happy
