Only time it matters is when it's at 10% and by then the woofer is cooked! :ohnoes9:

So yeah it does kinda matter. lol

That's not going to happen, uber crappy flea market amps don;t have THD that high.

Yeah I believe it does more than rated, but saying 2854 does not fly with me.

POWER : 1970 Watts

AMP VOLTAGE (measured) : 49.25 V

AMP CURRENT (calculated) : 40 A

ACTUAL IMPEDANCE (calculated) : 1.23 ohms

SUPPLY VOLTAGE : 12.85 V

bump the voltage up a little an this beast could 800 over the rated 1500 I'm sure.... improbable but not impossible...

Sundown rates their amplifiers at 12.8 volts, not 14.4 volts like Rockford.

Fosgate gives a THD rating with their ratings Sundown does not. This game can go on forever.

Both are nice amps. Period. . dot

Actually Sundown does give a THD rating with there amp ratings.

From the Sundown Website -<LI>Tested Voltage & THD : 14.4V & Less than 1% THD

I never said it does 2854...just sayin what the bc says....there are so many variables to this no reason to argue...sundown,fosgate who cares both are good amps...and imma say sundown is the better one but don't sit and act like I'm running some sony xplodes haha...

Just have Synergy sell you 2 3500D's from Sundown and sell the RF's! :P

Those numbers are even more worthless than the numbers listed on birthsheets.

I really wish people would stop quoting "clamped" power. Those numbers are useless to the average user, and in no way are relevant or related to rated power. Ignore them. Forget you ever read them. They're useless, pointless, irrelevant, meaningless. And stop comparing them to "rated power".....they are not comparable!
