When dealing with cheap/unknown brand names, the best way to tell max power output is to look at the fuse total. Design engineering calculates the fuse sizes at 20% more than max power. So if an amp that produces 1000 watts should have (1000w/13.8v)*1.2 = 86amps which would be rounded to nearest size up which would be 90 or 100amps of fusing.

Its a fairly accurate way to tell power as long as you are running at the lowest stable impedance.
