1 kilowatt is a thousand watts,i beleive there having you on,have heard companies say 2000 peak to peak but the real figure is the 250 watts,dont know what the peak to peak figure means ,it impressed mee on my old unit,but at the end of the day it was only 500watts
not enough for what ive wanted
i have a furuno,and it is truly awesome,ive used a raymarine 12 inch 1kw unit cant remember the model,awesome too,but big dollars
there both digital units
also been in a boat that had the top of the line lowrance,broad band etc etc ,great images
by the way your current raymarine DS500X unit is 500 watts and its digital
cheers arman
