If you would like to talk to him and challenge his claim, go talk to Rob Minichino (Rob M) at
www.carsound.com. He would be glad to give you details on his system. BTW, you are partially correct, most multithousand watt systems will rarely use more than a fraction of that amound for music. Playing test tones may be a different story, but playing music with a high quality thousand watt amp will rarely use more than 100w aside from the occasional transient.
You aren't off to a good start so far. You have come across as arrogant in most of your posts, but have followed it up with one misconception after another. Dont worry, you aren't the only one. 90 percent of the car audio population has the same beliefs as you about amplifiers, power handling, electrical systems, etc. I just do my part to try to quelm those misconceptions when I get an opportunity. You are obviously familiar with car audio, and in general have good tastes, so don't think I am picking on you. I just try to stop the false info whenever I can.
Who was this statement intended for?
