BigRedguy owns one. Have you read back at all. The Iasca classes were setup by rated RMS wattage and I beleive that some companies started to understate the ratings signifigantly to distort the classes. 97.3 was a riiculous way of showing Iasca their classification system was not exactly the way to go....or something like that

If the amp only puts out 4W X 2 @2ohms, I'm very impressed with the headroom on mine.....

The HCCA series were solid down to stupid-low loads, welding with one?.... must have been the HCCA2100.....I watched a dealer wire 16 4ohm subs onto one bridged into one channel....it sucked power like down the proverbial toilet, but it ran for hours......oh and it got a little warm.....
