O;-) There were of course also later methods of spell checking prior to the "new learning concept" of not posing to great demands on the pupils leading to functional illiteracy being on the increase rather than on the decrease. Regards Peter Larsen Spending time in schools, not to mention Usenet, I've discovered that functional illiteracy is an epidemic rivalled perhaps only by diabeties. And in terms of its effect on one's quality of life, it's more serious. Lately I've been getting questions from potential buyers of my Ebay items that I simple can't fathom. George will tell you I'm getting doddery, but I say people--not all young--are totally losing command of the language. It's frightening. |

Don't forget bridged outputs, which this almost certainly is. Figure around 15 watts per channel real-world. "Music Power" perhaps, but RMS in 4 Ohms, I still think 9 is more like it but you well be right. It is only about a couple of dB's and the "treble distortion" as described still points at simple amplifier clipping as the first concern with the actual setup. I have also been wondering whether those defunct old loudspeakers in his roll-bar could be partially or complete short circuited and still in circuit. But we may have lost the OP in the feud about illitteracy in the US .... Mark Z. Regards Peter Larsen Bridged output amps can get up to 4 times the RMS power of an unbalanced "normal" amp since power varies to the square of the voltage or current. If the current is not significantly limited, such as in a car setup, then twice the signal swing results in 4x the power. I was just rounding off and including a "fudge factor" in my mental calculation to account for losses in wiring, etc. Mark Z. |

A good bridged carsound amp running off a proper auto electrical system should be able to put out a clean 14-15 watts into a 4 ohm load. Usual rule of thumb is that it will clip above 4 volts rms. |

I've had people ask whether the item in the picture is the one I'm selling, whether "three" really means "three", if I'd be willing to ship a pair of 40-lb speakers to Hong Kong, and more. And people's grammar and spelling are sub-Usenet in quality. Maybe even sub-Krooglish. -- Krooscience: The antidote to education, experience, and excellence. |

Paul,
Why did I never expect to see a header in RAO entitled, "I'm wrong." Actually I'm posting from alt.audio.equipment. I'm sure no one over at RAO would ever express a wrong opinion. Dave M. |

No doubt there's ample opportunity for sharp criticism in those areas of your existance as well (and your hair--why is it sticking straight up like that?). However, I'll restrict myself to grammar for now. :-) |
