My son's MR2 came with what is marked as a 1000 watt amplifier. Very bling looking amp as well with its see-through top. When the radio shop installed a new radio, they were quick to point out that amplifier manufactures often make amp power claims that are significantly exagerated--they lie. He reminded me that all I have to do is look at the circuit breaker associated with the amplifier (30 amps on my son's car), multiple that number times voltage (12) to get the maximum wattage the unit can produce...in this case (12volts x 30 amp fuse) 360 watts.
So what is YOUR circuit breaker size?
