Pretty interesting, and quite frankly shooking information indeed. If amps are only designed to produce 1/8th of their rated power for a continuous amount of time, then I'm very curious to know what sort of amp they hooked up to their M80's during the Axiom torture test chamber excersize, during which they ran them with a full 700 watts (or was it 800?) for hours on end to make sure they wouldn't break.

It couldn't have been their own A1400-2, as the most it could put out at a continuous rate would be about 175 watts.
