I just picked up a 2400w RMS Audiobahn
AW2300HCT for less than $300

Chad Wahls;
I wanna see a pic and component count of a $300 2400 watt power amp. Do
you
realize that this will draw 200A in a perfect world, more like 250A if
it's
class D. I want to shake the hand of the engineer that could design
even a
$300 2400 watt switching power supply that has a decent SOA.




no doubt about it, listen to this dude, he's right on the mark with this
one.
i'm willing to bet it is extremely overrated, or running at the point of
thermal melt down to achieve that kind of rating, i can only imagine how
distorted it must sound when it is pushing itself to it's exagerated
claim of 2400 watts.
i don't know about you, but i personally find even 3rd degree burns to be
very uncomfortable, let alone the 2nd or even possible 1st degree burns
that one could incure at such extremes.

i'm not dogging audiobahn, i just think they are a bit extreme on there
claims.
heck, audiobahn does make some decent stuff, i've got one of there DVD
players in my ride, and that goes along with a pretty impressive list of
popular name brand equipment in my car.



this is a list of what is in my car, it is all in a 2000 Hyundai
