One way to roughly tell the power output potential of an amplifier is to look at the power fuse rating - if your amp really is a 300W amp (which I highly doubt), the fuse rating should be a minimum of 40 amps (12 volts x 40 amps = 480 watts times 60% efficiency typical for a class AB output circuit = 300 watts)


good info. Is there any way to run a 2 channel amp at 2 ohms with a single voice coil sub?
