Anyone have or know where to find this info?

It's the same pickup as on the Axis & HH AL. Not sure of resistance/inductance/output specs, but you could email Dimarzio - they'll certainly know.

Is it considerably lower output than a crunch lab?
Is it considered high output?

On Dimarzio's site, looks like they're not too far apart, with the CL being hotter. I haven't played the Crunch Lab so can't personally say ... I think the Axis bridge p'up is pretty midrangey and quite hot. It's a killer rock p'up. And in parallel, on the 25th/Reflex, it's got some good chime.
Fwiw, I don't find output to be such a useful stat on its own. Really depends how you're driving a pick up and what you're measuring. Same with resistance. What matters is the power across the frequency range. Bill Lawrence always quotes inductance, that's usually more useful to get a handle on what a p'up sounds like, it's kind of a measure of the frequency window a p'up will pass.

How's that possible??? - asymmetrical wound coils?

In parallel, it should be roughly a quarter of the series resistance. The Tone Zone is about 17k and it's supposed to be very similar in design, so that sounds reasonable, no?

Crunch Lab is higher output than the 25th. 25th has a more "classic" tone to it. More PAF'y than the CL. They're both very good in their own regards, but are totally different beasts.
To me, the CL has a balanced tone all the way across the spectrum. Great for just about anything, but high output so it breaks up easily on clean tones. The 25th bridge pickup is a little brighter and middier. The lows aren't as pronounced. Doesn't break up as easily as the CL. A good comparison to the 25th would be the Tone Zone, but I think the 25th pup has a bit more bite to it.

I've owned a JP and currently have a 25 right now. Brad's assessment seems SPOT on to me.

I don't know any 'techy' stuff around pickups - but I can reply via visual representation!

Most definitely. If there was a pickup to compare to twin jet engines, it would be the 25th.
