sticky?
its common knowledge that can be found by those who are not clued in on the field by a simple one word search, "fuse". For that reason, there is no need. There was a topic the other day for new stickys and it was determined that with such common questions like this, there really is no reason for it because the people asking will not take the time to read the stickies.
Also, for the arguement that peak ratings shoudl be used, acidburn said you are an idiot because peak ratings are never sustained for more then a few seconds. Even when you areplaying at max volume, that doesnt mean you are getting peak figures. Peak figures on an amp are kind of like the peak ratings for a fuse. You will never see the "2000watts" from that amp rated at MAX figures, simply because if it does put out anythingnear that, it is only when the caps are charged and there is energy to spare on a big burst of signal, which usually last for something like .75seconds.
