Haha, ya, this stuff sucks. I have been wondering around and reading a bunch on the bcae1 website and have learned a bunch of stuff but I am still really really lost. First I should get this question out of the way:

In the equation P=E^2/R what does "E" stand for??

Basically I am trying to learn how to calculate the true watts rms that my Ultimate T3 1000D amp can put out. I know its alot (imo) but I want to be exact so that I don't turn my gains up higher than the amp can cleanly put out and blow my woofer (know what I mean? ).


I read on bcae1 that "continous rms power" is the watts that the amp will put out with out a doubt. "rms power" is the watts that the amp can put out but this rating may be for only a fraction of a second. And of course "peak" is, well i forgot how it was defined but ya everyone knows. SO! with that said how will I find out what my amp can do for burping ??? I know I have 1200Watts at 2 ohm but I am sure this amp will do more than that. I have been given a few ways to semi-accuratly calculate the watts but I am wondering if a really accurate way exists???

The rules of the test that I want to do will be at 12v at a 2 ohm load. (I haven't seen the specs of this amp at 12v so ya, that is why I am trying to find out).

Thanks a bunch guys.
