You're giving me some hope. Against my will I will need to learn something about car audio systems. I suspect I'm being sold big amps because car audio installers can't fathom why one would spend a relative ton of money on a unit while not striving for perfect fidelity for bystanders half a mile away. It's not the volume I want but the convenience (and the visuals).

I have to say, however, that a couple of months ago no one knew what I was talking about when I described the Empeg. This time the guys where really anxious to install it. They understood it and wanted to see it live.
