Wow quite the thread. I just want to add one thing to the whole "clipping" debate:
If you clip a CD to your rear-view mirror with some string your system will be louder [img]graemlins/wavey.gif[/img]

Myth: The further distance away you can hear your stereo the louder it actually is.

Myth: 400W @ 14.4V is more power than 350W @ 12V

Instead of Horsepower and Monkey power I think I will lobby for PIXIE POWER !!!
That’s fine till the general public finds out about where Pixies come from! Then Ottawa and Washington will demand a though investigation of the source. Sucks 2 B U Tim!

OF course, day to day, the 350watt amp may deliver more usable power overall if the 400w one has really bad regulation but then aren't you propagating another myth right there? Hm, a conundrum.

Myth: Dukk never argues just for fun [img]tongue.gif[/img]
</font>[/QUOTE]Note the voltages I added with the wattage
400 w @14.4 works out to 333 w @ 12V
350 W @12 works out to 420 @ 14.4v

Heres one, what ever the model number is on the amp is the power rating of that amp. Some people are stupid. I heard another stupid kid tell me that his deck was rated at 600 watts, he couldn't do math very well.
