Thinking about it, Kyle is right, I should have remembered that MTX under-rates their amps... Totally my bad...

Both are solid amps, both likely make roughly 50W per channel at 4 Ohms.

MTX doesnt underate all there amps, and heavily underates very few of them. I own a Thunder 225 H.O. and a pair Thunder 275's and to my knowledge those amps along with the rest of their "Thunder" series counterparts were the last of my MTX's line of heavily underated "cheater amps". </font>[/QUOTE]No they still underrate most of their amps.

I don't think the 225HO was so much heavily underrated as just able to play a lot lower than stated.

Dude that amp was only rated for like 25watts rms into 4 ohm stereo, in 1 ohm mono that amp pushes clost to around 700watts rms.

Ya but it didn't do much more than 25 watts into 4 ohm stereo, maybe 35 watts. You are confusing the old "cheater" amps with under rated. Those are two different things, any amp can be under or over rated, while back in the day a cheater amp was something that was stable to less than an ohm.
