400 watts till I set it up properly. Then it produced 1015.8 watts at 2ohm reactive

yeah, doing right around 1000 now, which basically proved my fear of tuning for what I was used to with the old set up instead of what it should be at like Don set it. gonna say now I definitely need to tie a few things down and a few sheets of deadener

always tough to estimate power with the impedance of the subs changing with freq, then there is the impedance from your box/ car factored in. Complete measurements of actual voltage (during the test) and current (during the test) are the only way.

resistors are easy to measure as they are a constant, reality makes for more of a measurement challenge. The same system will measure differently in a different box or car.
