I know this question has been asked before but how can an amp with a 80 amp fuse make 1400 watts of power. Like for instance a pg tantrum 1200..or maybe a hifonics with a 120 amp fuses creates 1500 watts....i know some amps are more efficent than others but i thought it took 10 amps to create 100 watts of power..and so if an amp had such a small fuse ,shouldn't they blow after a couple of minutes.I see amps like rockford fosgates 1501 and jl 1000/1 and there rated correctly with 150 amp fuses and 100 amp fuses...I'm not doubting the pg tantrums power ,maybe i'm just confused somewhere?????
