lmao Phi said your name was donnie Bass Come to dallas then!!, or in a few months, come to Columbus!

Nope, never had a montage Even though I have about 3 days worth of amazing clips. Mali: Thanks, I will try my best, I'm just going with locals, so, getting points will be the goal this time around. I'm so excited tho man, I'm curious to see how this game will do on the circuit. Sounds like u shouldn't have left, if your sponsored??? Alright, will do. Donnie: hahaha, anybody can play

Yeah, for Reach and 3 they still did, I think now they even do in HD???? But I know last year, you could still look into the archive of videos, bcuz I would go looking for my old H2 gameplay, but now, Idk where the heck you can find the old links anymore

Yo! I love dallas, I've been going there every year since 07! Theres like, phucking 5 downtowns! lol, Not a huge fan of their HOV lanes tho.... lol Yeah man we have the biggest metropolitan area if you include Fort Worth, I love it here too. I hate the HOV lane only because I ride by myself all the time but if you got a passenger with you then its your best friend. hahaha, just the other day, I just so happen to catch the news, and somebody got pulled over for putting a dora the explorer doll in the passenger seat so they can drive in the HOV lane lmao. But yeah, here in TN, or wherever else I've traveled for that matter, there isn't a on and off exit for the HOV, so when I'm down there, I hate having to switch lanes, out of the HOV lane, and of course, I go, bo bo bo bo bo over to the next lane to catch my exit FML lol.

Yo! I love dallas, I've been going there every year since 07! Theres like, phucking 5 downtowns! lol, Not a huge fan of their HOV lanes tho.... lol

haha thanks man, yeah, I will! But there is a lot more other prizes that go with it, for example, paid hotel, air travel, food, publicity in magazines, websites, etc.. Once you make top 16, you get the celebrity status, but in the gaming world of course. A lot of money can be made if you get there though, for sure, they will begin to pay you to play in their tournaments, free gifts, you get the picture lol Oh, and everything 1st class

I will be competing at the MLG Dallas tournament this weekend. My team name is "Fully Loaded" It consist of Me(The SuphiX), Tie Rant X, The Prephix, and The Sinis7er. I will be competing in Halo: Reach. If you don't know what MLG is, I will kindly explain it to the best of my ability. Ok, so in halo, mlg style, is the competitive side of the world, like top 5% of the entire halo community. But I love it. I started back in 06. Well anyway, there is 4 people on a team. You have two different game types, one, is a slayer game type where the objective is to kill the other team, The first to 50 wins. And the other game type is called varied, but for the most part, its an objective game type, whether it be Capture the flag, oddball, king of the hill, or assault. You will play these two totaly different game types on multiple maps/levels. Once you feel that you and your other teamates are ready to compete for money, you go to tournaments which MLG is one of the largest community that supports this side of halo. You pay 280$ for your entire team to join in. They usually have 6-8 events/tournaments a year, then there is the playoff, and then the off season, kind of like a sport. You have amautuer bracket, then semi-pro bracket, then pro-bracket. At each tournament, there will be about 250 teams, there is 4 people on each team, and then each team may have a coach. There is 6 rounds of winners bracket before you make top 32 or semi-pro bracket. Or, 8 rounds of looser. Then if your team makes top 16, you will be placed in the pro bracket, and if you make top 8, you make money! Which is the ultimate goal. The prizes are as follows: 1st Place $20,000 2nd Place $12,000 3rd Place $8,000 4th Place $5,600 5th Place $4,000 6th Place $2,800 7th Place $2,000 8th Place $1,600 And at the championship event held in Las Vegas, I know 1st place gets 100,000. So thats it at its basic, I just thought I would share this with you guys Any more information can be found at this site: http://pro.majorleag...competitions/16 Or you can ask me

bad move IMHO. How big is that trunk anyways? why are you set dead on a 18 inside of a trunk? Not downing your choice, just interested in why you decided to go that route?

Nice build. Its spring now...

Duran: Is your vehicle posted anywhere? Never seen it before, just curious, with you having a n3 and all, would like to see what you decided to do with it, and with whatever else you may have. That is of course if you don't mind.

So I'm assuming from your statement that this isn't true, or not always true?

Well I wouldn't say that much, I may be getting this wrong, but from what others have posted so far, crappy parts can get you rated wattage as well. But its the longevity, quality, etc that makes the difference.

Gothcha, it just made me wonder what factors besides the obivous, would effect pricing, like, internally of the amp, what would change the price if V x A = W It seems that majority of it is the parts that it takes to create that equation is what greatly affects the pricing.

lmfao hahaha, Ok okay.... I promise

Thanks for the insight guys! thats exactly what I was looking for. So I guess the final answer is, yes, a watt is A watt, no matter what. In its most simpliest form, that is the direct answer, with no butts or ands. Now I feel I have the power to pass my new found knowledge with others if ever need be I feel smarter already

I DO want other people to comment. I want all of SSA members to comment back except for you. I don't like to single out people like, that, kuz then I only have that person and my opinion, I'm a very open minded person, which I am asking for answer from people on this forum (except for you). The way you reply can be founded very offensive. Just rather not have you respond thats all.

Hey ford, to be all honest man, can you leave this thread please, not tryna be a dick or anything, its just, I've read your past few post and well..... Lets just say I don't blame the guys over at SMD for banning you. Just my opinion. No body has complained about pricing, I already made it very clear that I wasn't questioning the price relating to warranty, names, middleman, or any of that. I was simply asking watt for watt question. I believe it is your fault for getting that other thread locked when I was very interested in seeing what more ppl were going to say, then you went to go run your mouth and complain ab what happen to you, WHO CARESSSSSS, go cry to someone that does care. Please. And I would gr8ly appreciate it if you didn't reply anything else on my thread. Back to topic I guess the 5 factors impious gave earlier is the answer to my direct question. I was just simply curious to why companies price may change watt for watt related.

So pricing amplifiers is like pricing gas? edit: lol just kidding, I know their not, and I'm just kidding.

Thanks for the replies, I was typing my respond the same time you guys were hehe ^^ ok, well yea, that does help me understand better. hmmmmmmm. Interesting. So what makes a quality amp, is how it performs under certain circumstances? Could that be a general but correct answer?

Yes, I understand that there is just wayy too many opinions on the subject, which is why I tried to make it as detailed as I can to get the answer I am looking for. Which it seems my assumption is right, if a controlled setup stays the same, and the only variable that changes is the amplifiers, then why would there be different outcomes? But still, why would a company charge so much more than others. If we were to use the analogy that a apple is a apple. The price would change on several factors, to name a few, maybe where the apple is from, how large is the apple, where is it shipping too, who is delivering the apple, etc... I'm not sure if I am making my question clear enough I guess I just don't see why would two separate companies charge two totally different prices, if the cheaper company is offering the exact same thing? Maybe customer service, maybe the name. But that is the obvious, so I just answered my own question... ughhhh, lol.

And thats what I was thinking... Hmmm, but surely, even if Power Acoustics was off or over rating their amps, it couldn't have been off by more than half??? At-least I wouldn't hope so, which is why I was confused to why the AA sounded better. Also after seeing high end amplifiers, like, what do they offer in their power if its all the same, assuming that a watt equals a watt, no matter what. Take arc audio's 4k amp for instances, why does it cost twice as much as a RF 4k? everybody knows that they both do their rated power, and then some. So why such a huge price difference if 4k watt is 4k watts? Maybe its the technology that it takes to get to that 4k, but even so, what spend so much resources on a product if you can get the exact same output with cheaper materials?

Ok, so the tittle may be a little confusing. Sorry about that. But what I am trying to get a answer for is to know whether or not, 1 watt, equals 1 watt? For example, lets say one company claims 1000 watts rms @ 1 ohm. And some other company claims the exact same thing. Now if we set these two amps up to a controlled vehicle/setup, why would one seem louder, or just plain oh better than the other? Obviously the main possiblity would be because someone is not providing that 1000 watts, but lets say we testing both amps the exact same way, with sophisticated equipment and techniques, to find out that they are putting out exactly 1000 watts. Then what could be the reason? The reason I ask because I see all the time that some amp pricing are wayyy more then others, offering the exact same power, if not less. I can see maybe the material costing, maybe wanting more profiting, paying for the name in other words, IDK So again, I ask, is there a quality difference in the watts that different companies may or may not offer within their amplifiers? If any one cares, my personal experience with this. I had a 18" btl, no extra batt, stock alt, 4gauge wiring, same box, same vehicle, exact same everything. I began with a PA 3000bd, which claims 2300 watts rms @ 1ohm. Then moved on to a Arc Audio SE 2150 that rates 600 watts @ 2ohms. I payed 300$ for the PA, I think they retail for 450ish, (IDK) and then I payed 300 for the AA as well, which retails at 1000$ So why would the Arc Audio cost over twice as much, with less then half the power that PA offers? But yet, the AA sounded 5x's better then the PA, louder, cleaner, smoother, just better! There are many variables that I am unaware most likely, which is why I am asking for your opinion, I'm looking to learn something here
