I don't mean to start a huge arguement or anything, but if I'm wrong, how come an MTX amp pushing a monstrous 125 watts to four channels costs $649 retail? That's "only" 500 watts, so this 700 watt amp, if it's worth anything, would cost more, right?

I guess an amp could have 700 watts stamped on it if that refers to it's bridged power into two seperate channels at 2 ohms or something like that. Something that could be stable at those specs isn't very common and the rarity of an amp like that would make it extremely expensive. I guess since that MTX I mentioned pushes 500 watts into two channels when its bridged, it could then be referred to as an 1000 watt amp, but usually an amp is referred to by its rating. A 50 X 4 amp, which can sufficiently push four mid tweet combos and a sub, is a 200 watt amp, and those things aren't cheap. Multiply that out a few times to make up for the 500 watt difference between it and this 700 watt monster, and you're looking at a lot of money.

As far as size and weight, my 50 X 4 is only 9 inches by 11 inches, and it weighs just over 8 pounds. Something pushing 700 watts in whatever configuration, would have to be bigger and heavier.

But then again, I don't know anything about it...
