[QUOTE="bump465, post: 8917799, member: 660886"] Interesting, what are you basing your guess off of? If I just looked at the price, I'd likely agree that it only puts it 100w. But when I look at the guts and not price, id think it'll do allot more. With a class D amp I feel like it's pretty easy to guess the output power. More winding + more caps = more power. But with a/b amps or my emotiva amp there's only a couple tiny caps but they still manage to put out a significant amount of power. I'm probably derailing my original question but is there a quick and dirty way to estimate what to expect from a home amp? With smaller car amps you can just look at what it's onboard fuses are. Is there something similar I can do in home audio? I think I might get one to try it and if I do, I'll clamp it and report back. But id like to have an expectation before purchase. [/QUOTE]
