My 500a only showed 667 at 2ohms. Yours is putting out more power than an 800a? How is that possible?

I have the power series amp. the rating is exactly 946.2 at 2 ohms into a single channel. The sheet came with the amp. Is your amp a Power series or just punch. they have the same numbers 500,a 800a, etc. however are two seperate series of amps.

Yea the power series does make a difference, but did not know that there was that much of a difference, that is probably why the that line is usually $150-200 more.

Also note that Fosgate has always been notorious for building "ringer" amps...

and somehow, only the ringers used to turn up in competition vehicles... about 1 in 10 amps they made would put out over double their rated power.. most put out around 50% over, but a rare few would put out 2-3x...
probably some kid in the assembly line sticking monster transistors in the smaller amps.

I know my amp is rated at 125 x 2 factory spec so i was as shocked as anyone when i opened up the box and saw over 950 watts! i thought it was wrong, but trust me it's a beast. if no one bids to buy by 10-03-01 i am putting it in my i30 with some jl w3's. the offer still stands however.
