In the UK (especially with PC based speaker systems) the problem is they quote PMOP - peak music output power over two channels (at least) and not per channel which is the peak-peak output voltage squared divided by the load.

Not really true - all decent equipment in the UK quotes RMS per channel - the ludicrous power claims are from cheap crap, usually PC speakers or in-car equipment, neither of which usually bear the slightest resemblance to a real value.

Which bit from my post confused you?

Simply that you gave the impression that PMP is commonly used in the UK, when it's not - its only on a small amount of equipment, the absolute crap kind.

I once bought a broken portable CD player for a few bucks just to get my CD servicing feet wet. Throwing it out was the eventual option even though I got a service manual for it. It was the "sled".

I have a friend who had a Electronics retail/servicing business and a customer came in and kept asking:
How many Watts is this?, for every piece of car stuff he had in the store.
