07 U.S. Amps Merlin MD3D?

Has anyone benched one yet to see how much power they put out? I am wanting to know how much continuous power they have been tested to put out at a 1 ohm load, what was the voltage it needed to achieve that power, what THD, etc. I just want to hear from some people that have actually tested them

None of you have tested these amps yet to see what kind of power they put out? I would figure with some of you being dealers would want to know what type of product you are working with if it is under or over rated, etc.

most stores do not have the equipment to properly and accurately bench test amps (THD, wattage, efficiency)
and i dont think they'd stock every single amp from every single manufacturer for the express purpose of benching them.
at least the shop i work at doesnt.
look here i dont think it lists the true output power, but its the best i can do for ya. maybe try to contact US Amps.

^Wrong... If I'm a RE dealer... shouldn't that tell you something... Yup US Amps too... But as jonnyb pointed out:

And since I carry so many different car audio brands along with tons of other items, I couldn't stock every piece of equipment without having a shop the size of a super mall.

you can test real world power output with a true rms clamp meter and a true rms volt meter and be pretty damn accurate.
