Anyone know the wattage or how to find out the wattage?

My cousin jus gave me this AMP and he wasn`t sure how much wattage it could handle...does anyone know the wattage or how to find out?


The amps an AUDIOBAHN (A2401Q)

 

[GSX97AWD]

A simple google search can tell you anything.

AudioBahn A2401Q Review

Features of the AudioBahn A2401Q include:

Amplifier Type - Dual Channel
Power Output:
RMS Power at 2 Ohms - 1 W x 100
RMS Power at 4 Ohms - .02 W x 100

I call BS on the specs above. S/N ratio 140, THD 750% (that's a LOT of distortion), 100W RMS at 2 Ohms (1Wx100) and 2W RMS at 4 Ohms (0.02Wx100). If the 0.02W was a typo and is supposed to be 0.2 watts, that would be 50Watts RMS at 4 Ohms x 2 at 18Volt input. An amp that is 45 inches wide and only puts out 50Watts RMS

At 12Volts or 14.4Volts that would probably be around 25Watts RMS per channel. There are headunits out on the market that put out 25Watts RMS.

These are the specs that I found on the internet (after searching around for about 20 minutes):
Class A/B MOSFET Circuitry
2 Ohm Stereo Stable
Bridgeable Into 4 Ohm
THD: 0.02%
S/N Ratio: >100dB
Frequency Response: 10Hz - 40KHz (+/- 1dB)
Variable 18dB Hi-pass Crossover: 50Hz - 750Hz
Variable 18dB Low-pass Crossover: 50Hz - 120Hz
Bass boost @ 45Hz: 0-18db
Subsonic Filter: 20Hz - 50Hz
3-way Protection Circuitry: Thermal, Short Circuit and Overload
Dimensions: 12-3/4"W x 2-3/8"H x 10"D
560W Max Power
2 x 100W RMS @ 4 Ohm
2 x 140W RMS @ 2 Ohm
1 x 280W RMS @ 4 Ohm

Now look at the 2 specs. The first specs state that your amplifier is 45 inches wide and 2 inches high . The second specs state your amp is 12-3/4"W x 2-3/8"H x 10"D.

It seems like someone just posted those specs and it kept getting distributed around the internet. Your best bet is to call Audiobahn Customer Service and see if you can get the specs from them.

Go to www.audiobahninc.com and get the specs.

Go to www.audiobahninc.com and get the specs.

The only thing on their website is the 40MB 2005 Zipped PDF Catalog and a 'enter' link that is dead.

The A2401Q is a 2002 model.

I found another set of specs matching the ones I gave earlier:

Audiobahn A2401Q
100W x 2 Car Amplifier $329.99
140W x 2 into 2 ohms stereo
280W x 1 into 4 ohms stereo
Variable high-pass/low-pass crossover
Signal-to-noise ratio >100dB

The first set of specs (found on Google) are the same as here on this link - http://www.recommendedbuys.com/electronics/car-amplifiers/audiobahn-a2401q.htm

This is the picture from the link above where the specs state the amp is 45 inches wide. The specs contradict the review. The picture above looks like it is 12-3/4"W x 2-3/8"H x 10"D.
