As far as the AMPS are concerned, running at MAX should not make them any worse than say at 50%. Should be the same.Just curious, why did you choose to use max output level instead of a normal listening volume level? Wouldn't that be more in line with what we are hearing?
If it does, then there is something seriously wrong with the amps.
So the amp test I am doing as High as I can, with the highest output (at whatever frequency that occurs at), without clipping.
With speakers eliminated from the measurements, the point is to see why there is such a lack of Flatness, across the desired Amp's Bandwidth, and what that bandwidth is.
None of this accurate info, or specifications, seem to be available from Hondas/Mitsubishi for this head Unit/ Amp combination. Honda just call it a "450W Premium Audio Systems", which means technically basically NOTHING but sale hype.
When it comes to the actual Speaker tests, then yes, normal listening levels will be more appropriate, but I will probably do 50% and Max, just to see how things deteriorate towards maximum (unclipped) levels.
BTW: I just realized that I had DTS turned on for all the previous plots, even thought the 3 band equalizer was set at mid positions.
Re-Doing without DTS, to see if DTS is significantly adding to the non-flatness.

And yes, I have my GEEK mode turned on for this project
