50 A power amp? What kind of monster is that?


Hi folks, I've read that some power amps could deliver 50 A!! Well, that is the current for welding. You might need the capability of delivering such extremely high currents when you are using very low efficiency loudspeakers (let's say 87dB/W/m). Most of the energy will be sucked up by the crossover. My question is: when the amp is passing through 50 A of current, how can a speaker's crossover survive such a devastating energy boost?

According to factory-published specs., my amp can swing +-100 amps. Duration of delivery, I do not know. Harman-Kardon Signature 2.1 For solid state, it sounds pretty good matched up to my all Gallo surround system.
