Default Any using a Blaupunkt 'Class T' amp in their S2000?

With these amps being so small and not producing much heat, I thought they might be an excellent choice for a S2000. I'm just wondering if everything I read about these amps is really true.

STL, did they give any other specs for the amp. Thing to look for :

Power @ 4 ohm load
Power @ 2 ohm load
Distortion
S/N ratio
Slew Rate
Dampening factor

These 6 items will give you a really good look at what the amp is capable of.

I have asked this before
the best place to look os crutchfield for all the specs
they are good amps
their 4 channel is 100 X 4 RMS at 4ohms
about 499 at crutchfield but you can always get it somewhere else.
I beleive they are the ideal choice for a car with a limited space.
they are definitely on my list.

GERMAN TECHNOLOGY, can't mess with it

Crutchfield is a good place to look, but I have seen errors in their specs several times. The best place is usually the manufacturer's website (in this case www.blaupunktusa.com ).

Thanks STL. Why I asked for the parameters that I originally posted is that they can really give someone a good look at what the current carrying capability of the amplifier are.
