seems like in their "tests" they put out a ton of power but then on the sensor their scores are very mediocre and they just become another 1500 watt amp.

I'm of the opinion that 1500W RMS = 150 min. At least mid 40's.
I had an SQ system in my Daytona. One 250W RMS amp bridged into a 10+ year old Alpine 15" SQ sub in a 2.8 cu. ft. ported box. I was able to hit 139 at an IASCA show with that setup. I shake my head when I see sub-140s these days on 'SPL' systems with over 1000 watts. Somethings not right with the gear or the setup.

If you are talking about me, I have 2 1500 watts amps strapped...
And I know it can do better when i am not using a prefab box and have more then 1 run of 4GA wire...

Honestly, its not very easy to pull off when using sundrounz on a single 12V battery, maybe on a few 16V batts they could do 3K
I tested z1's to do about 5300 Real world watts on a single optima group 31, battery dropping to 11V, amps strapped at .375 ohms
