I'm sorry I'm not quite as savvy as you guys are with the and testing what do those numbers break down to. In Watt's

24 v = 144 watts at 4ohm
48.7 v = 593

Keep in mind IMHO, while I are testing w the basic equipment make certain u are not running the ragged edge of a clean signal. If 49/50 is max clean on ur HU, why not use 45? And the DSP gains and EQ should also be at ground zero.

I just don't think we need to be running the edge of the sandbox unless u really are trying to squeeze every single watt/volt of clean power out of ur setup. Mark w a pencil or note the max clean and just don't exceed it. Just because ur one RCH below red line on a tach does not mean its a great place to perpetually operate for longevity.

Thus, seek clean head room when buying it shix.

Yeah I tried at 48/50, 45/50 and 42/50. Also tried direct from HU to amp (bypass DSP). Keep getting around same results. I'd be OK if I was closer to manufacture specs, but I'm low 50ish watts (1/4). When I order a 20oz beer, I don't expect to get 15 oz, maybe 18

I thought you switched to White Claw on tap??
Then you would only get half a glass of liquid after all the fizzing settled down so you are in about the same boat as massive and the ratings 😂😂
