[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8371674, member: 540940"] That's a dumb thing to say. With almost any budget amp - estimating actual power at 8-10x fuse value is a much more accurate representation of power than what's found in the mfg's specs. It at least has SOMETHING to do with output. I would argue that it ALMOST always has a LOT to do with output. Considering there are amps out there advertising 5kw and using 80-110A worth of fuse protection - it is clearly a valuable bit of knowledge especially for a newby to recognize that amp is good for something in the 1000w rms range. Of course there are exceptions. The dummy fuse thing is something I've suspected for a couple years now. It was good to see it pointed out in that Lanzar review. And as always -- Lanzar Vibe, Vector, Heritage etc -- junk. Lanzar Optidrive - still good equipment. [/QUOTE]
