Autotek, the old RF Punch series, and Orion were notorious for being extremely underrated. They really don't do that much any more.
yeah, these days, 600 watts really means 250, if even that. a few, more expensive brands still under rate their amps. when i bought my MTX amp that was rated at 200 watts, there was a slip of paper inside that said the amp had been tested, and put out 218 watts during the test. that was 18 more watts over the rating. it wasnt much more, but at least it wasnt putting ot less than 200.:2thumbup:
