Let me show you something in the 12-volt world that's reality.
DC watts to amps calculation The current I in amps (A) is equal to the power P in watts (W), divided by the voltage V in volts (V):
I(A) = P(W) / V(V)
Which means this. Your amplifier is running at 12.4Volt input. There are two (2) 30 amp fuses which shows me there is a draw rate of 60amps or less.
In order to get to 1600 watts of real power, and we're not even talking clean or dirty watts at this point just raw wattage. You would be pulling almost over 129 amps of power from your electrical system in which 75 to 80 amps+ of your 95 amp alternator are running your truck and makes you a candidate for burning up batteries and alternators either on a bi-yearly bases or every other year.
DC amps to watts calculation
The power P in watts (W) is equal to the current I in amps (A), times the voltage V in volts (V):
P(W) = I(A) — V(V)
Using this formula we can really see that that amplifier has a maximum power output of 744 watts... MAYBE while the cars running at 13.4 volts you may see a pubic hair over 800w. mehbe
So either that company has BIG dreams of their products or they have an amazing and influential marketing bullshit tag line thats working overtime and killing it.
