I think its going to differ...depending on what ohm load the amp will see...! Do you not believe the manufactures specs...? What kind of subs are you planning on using...?

Total RMS Power Output	2200 watts
Peak Power Output	4000 watts x 1 channel
Total Peak Power Output	4000 watts
Maximum Input Gauge Size	1/0
Minimum Impedance Unbridged	1 ohm

THD at Rated RMS Power	.5%
Speaker Level Inputs	No
Preamp Outputs	1 pair
Built-in Crossover	Low-pass (LP)

I think he's asking about MAX power... That's only going to happen at the amp's maximum load, which will also be the amp's minimum efficiency.

That being said, it's DAMN sure not putting out 4kW. How big are the fuses in the end?

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

i got 2 ascendant audio chaos 12s off a shuriken bt100

my buddy has the same subs with an addictive audio 1000.1 and his hits harder than mine

leading me to believe ethier my manufactures claim was overratted or his was under rated

There are so many other variables beside the amplifiers power. Are they even the same style of vehicles? Are the subs in identical boxes?
