The rating on the site are peak.
They are flashy but for an entery level amp you can not go wrong with PG.

I've been looking at the octane amps also. They seem super cheap. Does anyone have direct experience with them? A couple more questions:

- Are they power hungry amps?
- Do they put out a clean signal?
- Do they come with that neon light which is shown in the advertising picture?

Thanks.

They are PG amps so yuo can be sure they are clean, I believe the neons are extra. My buddy has a apir and he is happy with them.

Not sure about efficiency but do not forget the site lists the power in peak watts

the neon on the front is a bight led that lights up the center logo. extra neon can be purchase to accent the side and different color are available blue and red but it comes in silver. The amps(almost all ) have an lpl port . low pass level control that lets you control bass. and an rmd port(remote monitoring display) for voltage display. makes it real snazzy wehen you wanna see the voltage and control the bass from up front. great amps for the money.
