Welcome to the forum.

Can you elaborate? What make/model are you talking about? That figure is a bit rediculous, unless you're purchasing a competition sub for your car.

Heres a question maybe someone can answer: Despite claims of "super-duper hundred jigowatt" amp makers, how many watts are even available for use from a typical 15Amp outlet?

~1800 watts, although depending on the size of the capacitors, peak power output will be much higher. 1800 watts would be a constant rating.

My wife sometimes trips the breaker when she uses her curling iron and the 1875 watt hair dryer. Anything that produces heat like an iron, hair dryer, clothes dryer, electric oven, uses quite a bit of power. I've never seen an amplifier or receiver trip a breaker.

Keep in mind caps will only work in dc, so you couldn't use them in a hair dryer. Caps are very popular in car audio competition setups. Batteries and alternators usually can't supply enough power to the amp and some demanding drivers, so large caps are used to store energy for future use. Caps are a big part of how well home amplifiers work. They can get expensive.

The speakers most people have do not have any power at all. The watts listed on most speakers are the watts it can handle, when powered by an amplifier. Of course, there are powered speakers, including subwoofers. I doubt there are too many self-powered speakers that put out 2400 watts. I am always skeptical of these kinds of claims.

What are you asking (Origonal Post?)

I have seen Pro setups. (Mixer, EQ's, Amps ETC) pop 15 amp breakers all the time. 2400 watt self powerd speakers sounds to me like a pro speaker. How ever I do not know of any that are that many watts. Meyer, JBL, maybe the new QSC speakers. Mackie does not have any that high that I am aware of.

Most pro applications (my experiance in houses of worship) have dedicated circuits with Isolated grounds and 20 amp breakers.

But, back to the origonal post....More information is definatly needed to answer any questions.

Blessed,

Buckeyfan,
What other figures are you using to get 1800 watts? I, E, R what values? Just wondering. I ran sound for a gig out doors that had no were nere 1800 watts and it tripped the breakers 2 times.

Just wondering for futer ref.

Thanks,
Snap

Aren't the Sunfire Subs advertised at like 2700 watts? Of course on the back page of the manual in small print it says actual power is like 240, but 2700 just sounds better. Maybe he is referring to a similar gimmick?
