So if you get a 1000 watts at 1ohm like a lot of other amps do, your going to still get 1000 watts at 2ohms, and at 3ohms, and at 4ohms, like a lot of other amps don't.
The same thing goes for voltage. If your able to get 1000 watts because you got a 14.5 volt system, you'll still be able to get it with an 11 volt system.

How many other amps can put that on their spec sheets?

And, to top it off, whatever the rating on the amp say (nomenclature), that's not max power, like a lot of other amps, that's RMS power

unfortunately, maintaining constant power at any input voltage can absolutely drain your battery dry. Referring to your equations above, if the power draw is constant and the voltage sags - the power supply will respond by drawing more current, which just drains the battery quicker. I never really listen to mine with the car off, so I suppose it really doesn't matter for me. As for the specs, I also appreciate the fact that they are honest about them.

all right whats going on here??? I think its about time we find out who is dishonest about there power ratings I own a kenwood kac 929 amp rated at 1000 wattts max two ch. are they dishonest??? who else would be with amps fosgate,sony;alpine;pioneer??? lets point some finger so they can get with the program!!! like JL
