Absolutely, that was my impression and the point I was attempting to make, it was the peak and not the average volume level (the led readout), Casey01 asked how loud you had to crank up the amp and I think the answer is not very loud, it was not an issue of pushing the parameters of the amp in terms of a high volume application (e.g., heat shutdown).
