[QUOTE="tesladude, post: 8289120, member: 662082"] Hey I bought a boss "1800 watt" amplifier and I have it wored with 10awg wire connected to power and ground. realistically this amp should be able to put out maybe a few hundred and I have already acurately tested my speakers and measured wmthe wattage requirment to be 400 watts at 2 ohms which translates to about 28v of output from the amp. but when I crank the amp until distortion I am reading only about 12v which is 72 watts at 2 ohms. And yet when I have no speaker connected it allows me to reaxh up into the 30s of volts. does this sound like a broken amp? [/QUOTE]
