Their rugged construction and low profile make\ it ideal for sustaining the abuses of the road with reliability and space-saving economy. The pt1250 is rated at 625 watts perchannel into 4 ohms and 465 watts per channel into 8 ohms. The pt1800 is\ rated at 900 watts per channel into 4 ohms and 600 watts per channel into 8 ohms.
