Loudest streetstock in canada
Just be sure to adjust the gain to get that perfect 2000rms @ your burp note.Mat, do you not see the advantages of running a 3kw amp in a 2kw class? I've personally seen 200.1s/E-Audio 3ks clamp over 2kw at safe daily impedances. most other CEA-rated amps (be it 1-2kw, 2-1kw or multiple smaller amps) would need to be wired right down to make that kind of power with music (risking going into protection during the run or worse). not having to stress the hell out of your equipment is an advantage, without question.
that being said, it's quite possible that the loud canadian street stock competitor who blew their amp up before finals was the one running the 200.1. even if it is, my point still stands.
these potentially bogus ratings still have me wondering why there's a rating limit at all, especially if that 2kw limit is enforced via clamping.
but maybe I'm out to lunch. wouldn't be the first time LOL
oh I know, I've been running 150.1s for several years now.
to be honest, I was dancing around (what I thought was) the obvious to see if anyone would run with it. AB has pulled this rating stunt before. and willcann didn't want to take the bait LOL

100% dude, running a 10kw amp at even 4 ohms would be very safe for the amp, provide a huge cusion and make good clean power.
i do see an issue with it, but its up to the manufacturer to not try and overthrow the rules, and also wayne/certified judges to deem an amp legal or illigal, afterall, if he wants a limited power class, there should be some sort of policing in it to catch amps like this.
were not even sure if street stock is even gonna stick around for the 2010 season, if it does ill be bringin up all these points if no one else does.

if you look on the AB website, their ratings are all over the place (speaking of the 100.1s).
the 100.1 used to be rated at 1500w, now it's 1000w?
LMAO, on their website they rate the 150.1 at 2900wRMS, and the 120.1 at 2600wRMS, yet the 200.1 is only 2k now?
I just find AB's "ratings" interesting
