    Is 200w at 4ohm the same as 400w at 2ohm?

    Someone told me this today, and I don't believe it. Although at the time I could not explain why he was wrong. I just never heard of such a thing in the time i've been in car audio. Also, why would manufacturer's give statistics of their amp power rating at 4ohm, 2ohm and 1ohm? If there is no...

    SAWM40 or SAWM500

    I went looking for a Sony SAWM40 today at Sear's and BB. No luck, no one had them. But, BB has the SAWM500 for $200. What do you think? Is the 500 the same sub and maybe even better than the 40? I hear raves about the 40 for its price. Is the 500 just as good? I think the only difference...

They can't get the full benefit of DVD-A through just any DVD...
