need a bit more information then 'I threw it away'

What was the actual vs claimed S/N ratio, THD, and RMS power? At 2 Ohms and 4 Ohms if you have the data.

Could be wrong, this just off the top of my head, but isn't a 33230 rated at RMS 200 x 2 at 2 ohms something close to 14v volts. Max is stated at 310 x 2 at 2 ohms.

For some reason I have it stuck in my mind that all eclipse amps were rated at a THD of .1%

Good product regardless. But like I said, boss audio amps are published at >105 s/n ratio, .05% - .01% THD, and are far far cheaper. But we all know about published vs actual. That's why I'm hoping to find someone who's used em. I'll probably end up going and getting one though, see if they're worth anything.

We cranked the **** out of the 33230 at 2 ohms at tweeter, and it registered at 720 watts on the meter... :)

I guess im just a fan of good-named stuff... Boss wouldnt do it for me...

Well the only think I'm picky about names are suits, wine, and cigars...mmmmmm wine and cigars. Caviar is also highly dependent on label. weird how somethings are like that. I digress, I'll go ahead and find one and test it out. Will post my results on here if you all are interested. Anyone know an easy accurate way to test THD and sn ratio though?

[AutoMaggot]

I dont have a clue... we have a true current and, naturally, an Ohms meter and thats it

[ShooterJM]

Yeah got that stuff. Probably have to analyze it through my computer somehow. There's gotta be a program out there. Of course it be constrained by the performance of my computer audio hardware. hmmmm

[daklown33]

it didnt work.
