The one I got came with a paper saying that it was actually rated at 598Watts and peaked at... 2400 watts or something

There are 2 camps when it comes to clipping, so educate yourself and believe what you want. Fact is clipping creates distortion and I'm sure we all agree that we want clean output. Making sure that amp see's a 2ohm load is paramount in setting up the properly optimized system. Why pay for a 598w RMS amp if you only try to get 299w RMS out of it?
