[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 4166143, member: 540940"] it's really not at all that straightforward. for one - fuses don't blow the second they see rated current. It's quite possible they can pass 2x rated current for a few seconds without blowing. Plus, you don't know how Kenwood chose to use fuses on this particular amp. Are they a form of protection designed to blow at the first sign of severe stress, or are they designed only as protection against a short in the case of amp failure. The fact of the matter is I've never seen a kenwood not do rated power. It probably won't do 900w at 12.5v, but it will do it at 14. I've seen a lesser quality amp than Kenwood with 2x30's do over 900w rms on a professional independent test bench, and it was a class a/b. [/QUOTE]
