Hi does anyone know how many amps it uses? I would like to be able to run 3 at the same time for a large party?

You could easily do this it equals a small appliance, like a coffee maker or toaster.

We have used it with microwave at the same time with no problems. Keep in mind this thing leaks due to a design flaw. Cant leave your drink in it after its made.

From my experience, this one is poor quality and didn't work. It's cheap and that shows in the quality. I wouldn't recommend it.

My friend who i think actually has a review posted about this amp (gordon or gdiddy) has this amp powering two 15in p3s and they slam! If you are worried about it being too weak just wire to 2 ohm (900 watts) or 1 ohm (1200 watts)

It is limited to 30 amps. You dont get more amp capacity by lowering the voltage. FYI, mine was visibly broken upon delivery. It came in a padded envelope, which wasnt nearly protective enough. I sent it back for refund.

Mr. Garrett - Technically this is a 2-channel Amp. You can easily wire 2 pairs of speakers to it however, and alternate between the two or run them simultaneously. I have run 4 6 ohm speakers this way without issue and it played plenty loud. I imagine you could easily run up to 3-4 pairs of 8 ohm speakers in parallel this way, or more if you ran them in series. But it would be safer to make sure that you used the same speaker if you were going to start hooking up tons of them (because the impedance of each would be about the same)!If you wanted to run multiple speakers off the amp, like the other responder, you could do it, provided that you keep the impedance above the 4 ohm minimum.

I have hooked 3 up and it was 2 amp i have not tried 4 but it should work leds are very low power usage

It does not need additional supply, however, I would buy cheap UPS (from Costco) so that it can stay up for for few minutes. I would check the Amp requirement on your circuit as they do consume a bit more power. I am running 4 of them at my shop. Thanks

I believe 15 amps. I've never had it kick off yet and have used all 6 plug in at once at times. I think it's a good product for what it's meant for.

Are you running 3 full standard 16.4ft, 150 led rolls/strips equaling 49.2 feet? Each strip is 3 Amps witch means the power supply must be 12v 9 Amps minimum. If you are over 49.2 feet you might need a stronger power supply or add another amplifier to the run. The amplifier output reads 12A but I've noticed that all diagrams never show more the two strips per amplifier. Good luck

I think so, in my case I run 03 tube amps, 02 transistor amps, a speaker system, and a couple of other things, at the same time. Works perfectly. This is a great product.

Just barely. The sticker on it said the max amperage is 17.4 amps x 115 volts = 2001watts. I would go with a larger unit so you don't burn something out. I run with a 3500 and it does good but you have to be carfull not to run any other high power appliance with it.

If you are using a power supply rated at 3 amps you should never put a load on it that is over 3 amps. It is just asking for troubles. Power supplies are quite inexpensive lately, so, take a few bucks and buy what you really need. Good luck with your project.

I run it on a 15 amp circuit and haven't had any problems with it. I hope this helps.

31.666 amps is where you are with your 4 panels. I agree with AT... You need a larger charge controller or research using multiple controllers.

I don't think you can run 2 at a time. I believe the Honda 2000 Generator/Inverter can be linked together.

I have not used it in a while. As I recall, 2 amps to get it started 5 amps to make it run nice

Sorry, the amperage is too high for your needs. It could overheat what you are powering.

I spoke with my husband about this and he said that it is 10 amp but acts like it has more power, he uses it at work and it has been very handy because of the configuration. Hope this helped.
