is this amp 5000 watts max?

Yes. The max power doesn't really matter though look at the RMS ratings. Depending on the impedance of your speakers you get different amounts of power. I wired my sub down to 1 ohm so it is getting 1000 watts and my door speakers are 2 ohm (infinity speakers are usually 2 ohm) so they get up to 120 watts. That brings the total power to 1480 watts. Not even close to the 5000 watts max. You won't ever see that amount of power but it is a great amp nonetheless.

No this is a 5 channel amp. I ran front door speakers at a 2ohm and rear door speakers at a 2 ohm and 750 watts to 2 12 type s at a 2 ohm. This is a nice amp. But you need to run some 1/0 for power and ground.

it should be able to handle it, but 500watts is on the higher half of the amp's capabilities

yes with ease I have tested it on a few dif amps and now have found it will handle upto a 800 watt rms amp befor it starts to get hot but at 1000 watts rms it started melting

its rated for 550W Bridged@4Ω and I do not believe that is 550RMS. The general idea of a 5 channel amp is to run 5 speakers, if you're just powering only a subwoofer via amp I suggest a good Monoblock amp.

That will only do 5000 watts sorry. Swith not large enough for your generator

Hello, As some have so wisely answered correctly in stating it will not run due to 4.5 amps equaling 540 watts, they are correct.

I will agree with you, the rating seems low. I have them operating on 70 volt lines and am running it to 25 watts without any trouble. I'm sure it can go more. Remember, that 50 watts could be 5 amps...+_ depending on output voltage and load impedance

No. The amplifier is fused at 5-Amps. With a 115VAC line, the very best would be about 250W-RMS on each channel into 4-Ohms. You can assume about half that for 8-Ohms. When building my sub-woofers, I used two 4-Ohm 350W JBL, 15" car sub-woofers for my home theater. The audio power output from this amp is very strong, much higher than is tolerable, however, it does not exceed 500W-RMS when combined.

Im not sure. I used this for a sub box for my car,and I have 3500 watts running threw the set. And my amp is rated at 300 amps, as far as how much power it is pulling. Hope that helps some.

Yes , but be careful. A good rule of thumb to measure the true rms of any audio component is to add a zero to the end of the fuses and add them together. So in your case 4× 25 amps is like 4×250. So you have a 1000 watt amp...just don't turn your gain all the way up, which you should never do anyway because it's the distortion from these amps that blow subs. Not the wattage.

Don't know, but it's not as powerful as I would have liked. I'm used to car audio amps such as J L Audio and this is a nice little amp but not nearly as powerful as the one in my trunk rated at 500W. I rarely use even a tenth of it's power. My very efficient home sub made by Klipsch needs more.

Oh yeah!! If that's rms you're referring to. 100w max would be only 50w rms, that's really not gonna do this component set justice. I'm pushing mine with an Alpine amp with about 100 w rms if not a little more and they take every pit of power.

I have a 2000 watt amp and it works amazing i do recomend a 2000 watt amp but i cant till you about other amps that are lower than 2000 watt cuz i never tryed it

This Amp will put out 480 watts RMS power on a 4 Ohm cabinet load. It is possible that the amplifier could blow the speakers that were used but there are MANY more factors that could cause this to happen. Thanks Kam.

sure. the amp is 1000 watts per channel @ 4 ohm. 500 watts per channel @ 8 ohm

Short Answer:Check the manual for your amp to see its current draw (rated in Amps). This kit is made for amps requiring 50 or under watts. Long Answer: Wattage is voltage*amperage. My 500 Watt RMS Kenwood (1000 Watt peak) draws 38 Amps. When a car is running it supplies 14.4 Volts. 14.4*38=547.2 Watts. If your amplifier is 1100 Watts peak, its RMS wattage is probably about half that. So 550 Watts. Now divide that by 14.4 and you have 38.2 Amps (add about 10 percent because amps aren't 100% efficient) So your amp would require about 41 amps and you would be just fine using this kit.

Not at all. 1000 rms max. For my case, the most I can give mine is ~600 watts
