[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 6781691, member: 540940"] at minimum impedance (2 ohms) the amp is capable of 1200w rms. If it is nearly as efficient as it claims to be I see no reason why it would ever approach 160A, even dynamically. Plus - in order to draw maximum current for an extended period of time you would have to be playing full volume test tones. Playing music it is highly unlikely it would require more than 50A or so (average) at full volume. One thing that's unusual about that amp that may cause it to appear low powered is that its input sensitivity only goes down to 1.2v. That is about 1/5 as sensitive as most amps (typically 0.25v). If you have a low voltage (2v) HU it may have trouble driving the inputs of that amp to a point that would get full output from the amp. [/QUOTE]
