RE: how do they get 60W from 12V?

One last thing that seems to have been ignored is to specify the power
rating at 4 ohms or lower. Remember P = E^2 * R. 

Many folks make the *mistake* of thinking that all power ratings are at 8 ohms.
Ha!

Ah, yes, anyone remember the old days of peak music power, +/- 1 db?

Ok...ok...I blew it....so before someone in netland flames on me....

everyone knows that P = E^2/R not E^2 * R. Silly, I
must have wildcards on the brain.

Huh, I think you mean P = E^2 / R (or V^2 / R) -- which is consistent with
what you said in the rest of the article.
