"500 watts maximum power handling or 80 watts nominal.."something doesnt seem right there..could somebody please clarify..O_o

They are awesome speakers. I think the 500 max is for if you have an amplifier on it, & 80 watts is max if coming straight off of radio

dont go by the 500 watts,thats max,its just there for ppl to buy it,always go by the rms,in this case 80 watts,some have more,some has less,but it comes down to you and your listening perference ,these speakers are awesome,i have the old blue ones and man they hit hard and the highs scream

First, the answer is NOT 500ma (.5) as someone else replied. That is the no-load idle current, NOT the MAXIMUM current. While I don't see an official answer, based on the claimed 87% efficiency, the maximum load and surge, and a battery voltage estimate of 13 volts, a little rough math gives us a possible full load current of a bit over 132 amps, with a possible surge current reaching twice that number. Keep in mind these are just some quick back of the napkin figures, and are not a substitute for the manufacturer's published rating. BOTTOM LINE: Contact them before wiring it, I'm just somebody on the Internet making unreliable wild-eyed claims about electricity. First, the answer is NOT 500ma (.5) as someone else replied.

First of all, it's INPUT min/max watts. Secondly, "peak wattage" is usually double the maximum, so figure 70 watts.

The rating is 500 watts, so you should not expect to do any more. The 1000 watt peak really only takes care of start up, since the initial load is always more than the operating wattage.

No, if you read the spec i believe it says it needs 480 watts. Im using a 600 and its working fine.

I think the name plate watts are 800. Check the name plate one more time. think they are well within your usage

its a 600w alternated generator... it will never reach 600wats... probably closer to 450w... though you are right there isnt any data supporting this... just do some research about ac to dc conversion...

I have no clue. I have a 430W in mine and I don't have problems.. I can't see it taking that much.

Yes Puja, I answered same question before, this item is working so simple , just converter plug and it's capacity 500 watt. If you will use 600 watt tool then its gonna break. Do u understand ?

I am actually using a 300w PSU and everything works just fine for the past week (i7-4770, 8G ram, two HDs). But don't try to take my word and keep a 300w psu for long bc it's supposed to be dangerous to your equipment. I've ordered a 500W PSU and will replace as soon as it arrives.

Voltage is not measured in Watts.....5 volts. It draws 0.4 amp or 400 mili Amp most likely. (it also makes sense). But why are you concern about power input??

Oh, dear! once upon a time, could have answered your question without looking it up: but, having been involved with computers for some time some of the old detail (architect before retirement) has faded: 500mA simply means 500/1000 of an Amp = one-half of an Amp; am pretty sure that when one multiplies Volts x A you arrive at the power/electricity consumption figure = Watts (1kW = 1,000 Watts) by whatever it is you're supplyin the 'juice' to. (IF you supply less than the Amps stated by the manufacturer of what you're trying to run Cd player, whatever, if this (Seven Star) gear doesn't meet that figure (i.e. Cd player calls for 750mA or 1,000mA) my view is the Cd player would not run. Hope that helps!

I think the one I bought was 80 total watts but the newer version indicates 100 watts . Hope this helped.

on a 1500 watt unit it will handle only about 1200 watt load. my opinion is that what you are asking it to do, it won"t do it.

Don't know? Mine is a 400 watt and I have had no power problems, seems totally sufficient to do the job.

400 watt or greater is the recommendation for this model. You should calculate how your psu is destrobuting it's power to make sure you can delegate enough to the card

Thank you for asking. I was wondering, since the listing currently says it's both 120 watts and "low wattage" (?)
