1. A walmart Visonik 1200 watt amp is not going to put out even close to my underrated sundown 1000 watt amp putting out almost 1500 watts.
2. As mentioned by the727kid, his sundown amp putting out 3000 @ 1 ohm (rated), will put out around ~3500 + @ .5 ohm
3. Some amps RMS are rated at 17.0 volts (ma audio) and some at 12.8 volts (sundown).
It's hard to find a perfect way to classify systems. One setup is always going to have an advantage over another depending on the classifaction scheme. Nonetheless, the show will be fun.
Like i said before.. Don't cheap out and you will be in decent shape.. lol.. Dont come in with some walmart amp looking to win..
