Unfortunately manufactures count on that. The don't expect you to know about impedance rise so there rms ratings are for rms of amps not what the impedance rise power will be.

I was gonna say the same thing. When they give a speaker its power handling rating, they take into account impedance rise.

Perfect application. perfect power.

No Bill I didnt doubt your box. Did you read all of my post?

I wish I could smell my amps! That would be kinda cool, would it not? MMMMMMMmmmmmmmm I detect a hint of autotek, and slight sweetness that must be none other than genesis.

In reference to the ass pass.

I don't buy from those manufacturers lol. I know when a sub's being pushed past it's limits anyways. Which is why i've never damaged a single sub or speaker for that matter.

I would venture to say that ALL manufacturers do this when rating there drivers.

I would say do your home work first don't go get a 1000 rms sub
and( i think you should get the amp rms out put close as possible

to that sub)then can't afford the right amp for it and most likely
your charging system won't handle it .
then i would stick with amps with 4 ohm rating instead of 2 ohm

ratings. every thing works better in 4 ohms amp lasting longer
and cleaner sound.

just my 2 cents
