January 14, 201312 yr Author I was on SMD Forum yesterday in the rf section.they got a birthsheet thread just to compare the dif rf models.one 2500bdcp was puttin out a 1000 plus over rated power.that's crazy lol

January 14, 201312 yr The birth sheets are Pemax. They do not account for capatance and reactance of the driver. They are tested with a resistor as their load. This is the reason why the CEA rating is lower than the birth sheet.

This is the reason why the CEA rating is lower than the birth sheet.I can't find it now and don't know if the new amps are the same way, but the Power series a generation or two ago had an FR that had a 1.5db or 3db peak (can't remember exactly) in the response in the bass and again in the treble. So if the output was rated at 0db but they measured for the birthsheet at one of the "peaks" then the power would inherently show 50-100% higher on the birthsheet.
January 15, 201312 yr havent had any experience from either but from what ive read fosgate is the way to go. i know my next amp is a fosgate. just sayin
January 16, 201312 yr Author This may not mean much to some of you guys,but hey I thought it was pretty interesting lol. http://www.*****.com/board/topic/151927-official-rf-amplifier-birth-sheet-database/
