[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 5101320, member: 555320"] Then you need to either have the amplifier bench-tested or find someone who has tested the amp using a [I]reliable[/I] method. There's no formula you can use to know exactly what your amplifier will output (unless you were to analyze the schematics in detail' date=' etc). This is [i']why[/i] people bench test an amplifier. It's the only way to know for sure, and even then you need to be sure the method is a useful method (taking distortion into account, for example). As helotaxi mentioned, fuses are useless at attempting to determine power output in all but extreme cases. Knowing that Concept is an average quality brand, I wouldn't expect the amplifier to be excessively under (or over) rated. It'll [I]probably [/I]put out right around rated power, or close enough as not to matter. A couple hundred watts in either direction won't make a lick of audible difference. [/QUOTE]
