oh god! Just remember that more watts doesn't always mean it'll be louder!

their '3000w' amp only has 50A of fuses. it's impossible to produce 3000watts from 50A of fuses. More like 350watts @ 14v

yeah they do seem to exagerate there ratings quite a lot :undecided: my 700w amp has 2*40A fuses so does that mean i can put a sticker on it saying its 5000w :laugh:
peak ratings dont mean anything always go by rms;)
what make/ model are your speakers?
will be easier to suggest an amp then.
