    The only problem here is Rockville's RMS ratings are full of crap too. You have to look at their "CEA" ratings in the small print just to get a ballpark number for the output capability of what it should produce, and not what actually produces. To make things worst, they even include a bogus birthsheet.🤦‍♂️

    You know 4 years ago Rockville had a 1 ohm monoblock Williston Audio Labs dyno'd the Rockville RXD-M4 1500W on the SMD AD-1. At 1 ohm certified he only got 1267 watts, but in the uncertified he got 1546 watts, and in the dynamic he got 2128 watts, he also ran a .5 ohm test in dynamic mode and got 3154 watts. I'm not saying they are great amps, but that one for $150 seemed worth it for newbies. But obviously they have changed many things with ratings since then, that RXD-M4 was rated 1500 cea and 3000 rms, which as you point to is only them trying to sell as many as possible.
