It's orion rating we're talking about here, old school orion. Hell my 275HCCA pushes 1800RMS and is rated at 150wRMS. There's what you see and then theres what it does.All orion rating were 12v ratings, and the XTR amps could go easily to 1ohm mono stable my hcca amps go .25ohm stable.

HCCA amps were underrated but I'd like to see a bench test verifying that...

The beast is only 2ohms stable and under rated at 1000 watts. Great amp in it's day. Now days with class D mono blocks, it just does not make sense to run a class A/B amp unless you need that kind of power for your mids.

I dont remember hearing the expression dynamic power back in 1993. We would run entire cars off 30 watt amps.And they sounded loud! I believe full power output on a HCCA 250 (2x50 watts) was arround 650 watts.some of these old amps had huge damping factors, a spec that was proudly advertised.I dont think I've seen any big manufacter do that in a while.
