Power rating of the Amps - 07/08/02 11:53 PM
There was much discussion on this subject a few months back.But from what I am reading the specs are true with a few exceptions.First Outlaw recommends a 20 amp circut dedicated.That would equal 2400 watts max that could be drawn.But it is rated at 1800 max for both amps. Why is this? One is 5 channel the other 7 all the specs are the same except for weight.The 5 channel specs make sense to me, but the seven channel does not. Can some explain this to me ? 5x200=1000 watts(8 ohms)5x300=1500(ohms)ok this is fine well under the 1800 max rating.The 7 channel 7x200=1400 watts,But 7x300=2100 watts exceeds the rating max of 1800 watts.2100 is possible with a 20amp circut , but exceeds the 1800 rated max.Why?
If someone can explain this in laymans terms it would help alot.I have a very basic idea of electricity.But not much please keep it simple.I just wonder how they arrived at these specs.
