I doubt it

Probably will do close to rated though

some where in the vicinity but since you won't be playing sine waves (assuming you are normal) it doesn't really matter

normal? didnt understand that

you know, opposite of strange, queer, disfunctional, abnormal, wierd

Based on the fuses I'd guess 75 watts per channel at the most.

I wonder if thats real plasma in the sphere.

Fuses arent a good way to judge output.

That amp uses 2 25w fuses for its claimed 400w total power, my Zed Audio made USA 2300f uses 1 60w fuse and its rated (at 12v) to be 300w x2.

Its very possible that Power Acoustic comes close to actually putting out 400w.

duh..of course it is....where are they gonna get fake plasma...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

i dunno, they have fake diamond, they could have fake plasma

Shure fuses are a good way to tell output if you have a general idea on how effecient the amp is. Its definetly an easy way to tell if its overrated.

so what will u say the rms power for speakers that are 4ohms each

WTF? Fuses are measured in amps, not watts!!!

so it is a total of 50 A, and using the formula P = U x I (P = Power, U = Voltage and I = Current) it will look like this: P = 13,5volts x 50 A

= 675watts.

That's the power the amp uses, and it's probably a class AB amp, so cut that power in half or something like that and you have the output of the amp...

Oh, and that crappy plasma stuff on the top of amp will probably use much of the power going in to the amp as well, not very efficient //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

OMG.........Power Acoustik coming close to it's actual rating, are you kidding me? I do agree with you as far as people rating the output of an amp based on it's fuses, but Power Acoustik doesn't make ANYTHING close to their claimed output.
