Some Pointers on Choosing a  Bass Amplifier & Their Power Ratings: So, you’re shopping for a car audio amplifier for your new bass system that you are putting together.  You want at least 1,600 watts because that’s what your friend has and his system sounds great, or that’s what your friends have told you you need.  You shop around and you look at all kinds of amps at different prices.  You’re wanting those watts but your wallet has only so much bucks to spend.  How do you pick out the right amp?  It’s tough, especially because there’s no real way to compare car amps to one another based on what they say, and the sales people just want to sell you what they want or they don’t really know any more about it than you do (you think).    So what do you do?. . . .   Of course I can just say “Come to National Auto Sound and Security where the sales people really do know what they’re talking about and no one will steer you wrong.”  But I won’t say that.  Instead I’ll try to explain to you what to be aware of to make a good choice. First, realize that there exists the big lie.   What’s that?  It’s the advertising of car audio power or watts.  Did you know that in car audio it is actually legal (no federal  laws prohibits it) for the car audio manufacturer to misrepresent the power output of their amplifiers.  Did you know that almost all of them do this to one extend or another and some do it with such exaggeration that it is laughable if you happen to know what is going on.   Why do they do this?  It’s simple.  The bigger number of watts they can print on their amps, the more likely you are to buy it!  Click Here for Rest of Article
