I hate max power ratings

Me too. Other things I hate:
(rant)
- People that believe that Sony, Pioneer, etc. etc. make good amplifiers and speakers on the basis of their market prominence and brand equity.
- Installing aftermarket loudspeakers in factory (unbaffled or poorly insulated, poorly staged) enclosures (ie. dash, door reliefs).
Point one illustrated by a recent conversation with my brother regarding car audio. He's going to go and spend dosh on a Sony 'XPlod' system comprising deck, amplifier (4 channel), 4" coaxials (in dash locations) and a 10" pentagonal subwoofer (words fail me). Why? Because 'Sony are a market leader' (read 'marketing leader') and 'I've got a red car, so it makes sense' - !!
I ask if he's auditioned other equipment, and get a blank look in return. He asks what my system would consist of.
- Alpine CDA-7848J CD tuner (front/sub(unfaded) preout, sub level control) which I have available.
- Jaycar 2x150w amplifier - bang for buck.
- Phoenix Gold Octane-R front components (6") in kick panel enclosures (if they fit) or door pods (if they don't)
- Jaycar 2x150w amplifier - as above. (230W RMS @ 2Ohm)
- Phoenix Gold Octane-R 10" DVC subwoofers (2).
The sad thing is we're both spending the same money. Which would you prefer? He turns up his nose because Alpine isn't available at JB (where the sales guy said he hadn't heard of it) and he's never seen a "we don't make toasters and microwave ovens' billboard for Phoenix Gold.
