i was setting my gain with a DMM and my amp was gettin up to like 68 volts. i figured out that was around 1150-1200watts. how does this happen when my amp can only produce 550?
You are missing the entire concept of why you're looking for a specific value on the voltmeter. Your amp CAN'T produce more power than it's supposed to.
You can turn the gain all the way up and you will get a really high voltage reading. But if you connected the speakers with it like that the signal would be clipped to hell since the amp cannot produce that power.
ya i know i was just messin with stuff and i set it to 500watts cuz the amp i got is overrated but i was just curious. i figured it was a clipped signal but i just wanted to throw it out there.
