I was just about to pull the trigger on a 950/7100 combo, when something pulled me up short. The specs on the 7100 state 7 x 100 wpc all channels driven at 8 ohms. Fine, no worries there. THIS spec is what stopped me:
7 x 165 wpc all channels driven at 4 ohms. Pardon me? 7 x 165 = 1155 watts total. Considering the amp pulls 1200 watts at maximum , how the can it deliver 1155 watts ouput?

I am well aware that the condition for 5 channels needing 165 watts apiece at the same instance is VERY low in probability, not to mention 7 channels needing it. What bugs me is that the specifications SAY it can do that. So what, am I missing here?

I really want an outlaw combo, but when the numbers don't add up, I become very cautious.


Thanks in advance to all.
