I always wandered why they sold it as an 1100watt amp and I was only getting 725 out of it. SO like many of you suggested I upgraded my 8 gauge wire for my 1x4 fatboy to 4 gauge welding cable and wow 200w swing 1000 to 1100/fresh now I'm happy happy just the wire fellas and it went from 100 swing 725 to that. I would highly suggest anyone thinking about wire upgrades 2 DO IT. I know it isnt the meter reading wrong or nothing beacuse radio is still doing the same barefoot. so thanks for the advise have a great day and did I mention I love welding cable??? Wrong Way
