A watt is a watt. Voltage across the resistence of the load -current drawn, multiplied by the voltage. What differs is how the power is measured. RMS (root mean square) is .707 of the maximum power. An amp output into a nominal load of 8 ohms at 1kHz at RMS continuous is a standard measurement. Ceteras paribas, amps should be compared using a common measurement.
Best way to measure an Amp's power capability
Hello Everyone,
As we all know not all watts are created equally. A 1,000 watt amp from brand A can be trounced by a 100 watt brand B amp.
So what is the best way of telling if an amp is high current just by reading the specs or may be by looking at the inside of an amp?
What should one look for?
Thanks in advance!
