Clarification Requested on American Bass Amps....

As I have found it, the CX100.1 and 75.1 are considered unlimited, but all other AB amps are OK.

The 400.1 is rated @ 1000W
The 200.1 is rated @ 600W

correct? I am getting conflicting info, some people saying that all VFL AB amps were considered unlimited as of last year. If so, can someone please link me where USACi said this?

Thanks.

FURTHER INFO:

So this is what I have to go on:
the above listed amps are unlimited due to a potentiometer issue.
the VFL-200.1 was rated for 600W @ 4 ohms
the VFL-400.1 was rated for 1000W @ 4 ohms
the VFL-500.1 was not rated and is unlimited
the VFL-1000.1 was not rated and is unlimited

correct? are there any other models which were rated or not rated and are unlimited?

Is that true about the 200.1

200.1 should be 500 i thought

598.9 was the rating I got ... but either way its 600 or less.

not either way cause they have been run in mod as 500w amps for at least 2 years now if its 600 the 2 cant be in 0-1k and 4 cant be in 1-2

good point, i was considering prostock/stock, hadnt thought about mod ... AmpGuts shows it as USACi rated 598.9 ... so I don't know ... I cant find ANY info on here from USACi about what the amp is rated for.

Also, for amps protested doesn't USACi have a 20% rule?

EX.
Amp rated 500w @ 4ohm. Tested at 599w.

500 X 20% = 100w
500 + 100 = 600w

Amp passes 500w rating

???

USACi rating on the 200.1 is 500 Watts..

All Atomic amps not AB amps is unlimited
