[QUOTE="Hcw, post: 7527036, member: 637045"] The reason they give is :" That's because the typical analog amplifier is about 50% efficient. That means about half of the power it generates is turned into audio output while the other half of the power is lost as heat. So if your amplifier is putting out 400 watts, it's actually using enough electrical power to generate about 800 watts of power, and the amp's wiring needs to be big enough to handle that draw."
