[QUOTE="Tim Perry, post: 23487, member: 94"] Re: When watts aren't watts! Many years ago there used to be underdash car amplifiers that claimed to be 2,000 watts. They were supplied by a 12 volt wire with a 2 amp fuse in it. Fast forward to today: Both JBL and QSC (and most likely others) are playing the numbers game in their active speakers by adding up total amplifier power where the amps are rated for 2 ohms yet one or more of the actual loads is 8 ohms.
