What Determines The Amount Of "Current" In An Amp?


.
For years I've heard that an amp needs lots of 'current' to drive certain speakers. What in an amps' design will determine current?

Also, how does current differ from watts per channel in the ability to drive a speaker?

Ralph, are you saying that the amp is delivering 20 volts to the speakers in the above example? 100=20*(20/4).
