I ordered a pair of Gemsound 3955 Power Amps last week.
They are rated for 1400 watts RMS into 4 ohms bridged.
I THOUGHT the FTC regulated RMS power ratings so amp makers didn't LIE.
I just wanted some cheap power for my pair of 4 ohm subs.
THEN, I started thinking, my subs are 4 ohms, meaning my bridged amps will SEE 2 ohms ?
The place I am getting these from will refund my money IF they dont work,
But HOW can any company get away with lying about RMS ratings ?
Peak power is one thing, but these are rated RMS.
Isn't RMS regulated by the FTC ?
Hey, I would LOVE a Crown K2 ....
But these are JUST for the subwoofers.
My kids get 1000 watt car stereo amps cheap.
WHY cant an amp company give us good, cheap honest power ?
Anyone ever had a Gemsound Amp on a bench ?
DO they Lie ??
