Question about power

[xDeth7 10+ year member]

I know you can generrally tell the strength of an amp by fuse size. So what amp would be stronger one with a 60 amp fuse or one with two 40 amp fuses. If this is a stupid question, I'm sorry but a educated reply would be apreciated just the same. Thanx guyz...

2 x 40 = 80

the fuse size can normally indicate how much power the board is able to handle

ie a amp with a 60 amp fuse will probably at most do 600 watts ( 12*60- effeicency )

ie a amp with 2 40 amp fuses will probably at most do 800 watts ( 12*80-effecency)

That question can not be answered as you haven't included enough information.

You can not compare amplifiers, or their output, based solely off of fuse size.

Yep. One of my previous amps had 3x 30 amp fuses and did 1600+ watts. It had a clone and it had 3x 40 amp fuses. Go figure //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif
