How much power is too much power. how about 20,000 watts


Ok a little fun here I was searching for class D amps for a project and came across this listing on Amazon for a mono car amp that supposedly puts out 20,000 watts. so how much power do you need? Haha if your not using it to play music you could always weld with it, wonder what different genres would do for welding patterns?

I really could use a few more watts wonder if this would be lauder then my 8wpc SET. ;-)

At normal listening volume a typical amplifier only has to deliver ten or twelve watts to a reasonably efficient speaker; I've never had an amplifier rated at more than 100 watts RMS output; current tube amp is rated at half that and it's more than enough. Reminds me of the old saying; "speed is expensive; how fast do you want to go?" relative to old muscle cars.
