I've got a question... Did you know?

that CEA certification tests are performed @ 14.4 volts, and the average electrical system is 13.x volts. What this means is some of the companies that are CEA certified may not produce the RMS wattage you would expect...while, Sundown Audio, Zapco, and other prominent non-CEA certified brands, rated @ 12 volts are underrated and will provide more power. Well, did ya?

Update:

Maybe it was, who knows?

Update 2:

hell yea Jacob is a good man. I'm dying to hook up my 3000d

    Did you just realize this?

    Just because Sony is CEA-compliant doesn't mean they make good amps ;)
