Help finding wattage of amp

Mac6135 · 08-31-2006, 12:14 PM

Hey guys,
I found an amp in my closet the other day from my high school days. So its most likely at least 6 years old. I hooked it up and it works just great, but I have NO clue what the wattage is and I cant find it anywhere on the internet. The brand is Kingwood, and I only found a few models on the internet, none matching mine....so I was wondering if any of you could help me out on finding the wattage?
Specs:
Kingwood
Model: KWR-600
2ohm/4ohm Stable
4 channel
15A Fuse
Built in subwoofer

Thanks Guys!!!!

Well it would seem that since the fuse is only 15 amp, it can only be a maximum of 180 watts (15A*12V=180W)... That would probably be the "maximum" wattage, rather than RMS.

15A fuse.... max 150-200 watts I believe... current (15A) * voltage (12-14) = wattage? so if its a 4 channel, its pretty much the same as any new radio these days 200w max 4 channels

edit: wow, i guess we both said the same thing at the same time, sorta

And a quick search on Google found this:

Craigslist

lol..... well unless that fuse in yours is too small... i dont think 1000w would really work : )

eeh, why not use it?

It cant be any worse than the current production head units, and by installing it, overdo the install so all you have to do later on is swap amps. At worst it will be the same as a new radio and at best will sound much better.

Power is power folks, so long as it is unclipped and undistorted.

when it comes time for a new amp, swap em and ebay this one...

Thats cragis list one is EXACTLY like mine, same model number except it doesnt say up to 1000 watts in the corner. I bought it off a friend in high school who said it was 1000 watts. I found it hard to believe...but I only bought it from him for like $30 back in high school, you know those days where you have NO $
