0 JaredM42 Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 This is what I have going on pair of 300watt per speaker pro studio Waltons Pair of sensuei sp 2000 speakers 3 boss satellite speakers 7900watt power amp Mtx 4000watt sub All working beautifully on a 700vwatt atx power supply Link to comment
0 Speedskater Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 The wattage ratings from many UPS or DC supplies is into a resistive load. Audio power amps draw current in very brief pulses. So a 700 Watt UPS or DC supply may be only able to supply 400 Watts to the amp. Link to comment
