[my comment]

if it is claimed to have "18 watts pr. channel" then it
probably has some 5 to 9 watts pr channel as amplifier power
is normally measured.

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 ....
