[QUOTE="DidUHearThat?, post: 5716102, member: 594758"] A type of meter with the ability to place a clamp probe over the main positive power lead and it measures the amp current flowing thru the cable without having to make direct contact with the copper. This will tell you how much power the amp is drawing, or even how much power it's outputting, but this is max watts, not RMS. Looking at input fuses is helpfull at spotting amps that the manufacturer is lying thier *** off if it's physically impossible to output that many watts with that small of a current input, but it will not give you exact RMS numbers.
