Here is a copy of the questions that I sent Outlaw technical support this morning. I have not yet received a response.

"I have been involved in a very interesting message board discussion about
the ratings of separate amplifiers. The specification of the 7100 cites an
FTC rating. It is my understanding that many audio receiver manufacturers
use the FTC standard as justification for rating/ testing only 2 channels
simultaneously, even though their receivers may have 5 or more channels.

I would like to ask 2 questions.

First, for the 7100, how many channels are rated at 100 watts
simultaneously and simultaneously for what period of time?

Second, for your 770 amplifier, you specify simultaneous RMS power for all
7 channels. There is a perception that since the 7100 is specified with
FTC and the 770 is specified with RMS that there is implied more difference
than just going from 100 to 200 watts. Could you explain why the 2 amps
are specified differently?

A clear explanation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!"
