It would be roughly 25 times as large as the HK amp. Car manufacturers are notorious for lying about true, clean power ratings, and BMW is just as bad as any of them.

Given their rating system, my 200 watt home stereo amp should be rated at about 50,000 watts.

Hey, I'm not an HK fan, I went with an aftermarket system, I know HK is bullshit, David 19:55 7/03/2000 (0)
