For almost any aftermarket amp, it's unlikely the amp _doesn't_ have a DC-DC
converter these days. The no-converter amps seemed to have disappeared from the
marketplace ("new" that is). Too bad for the AM radio since some DC-DC
convertors are so crappy they jam the AM.

Without using a bridging configuration, the maximum power you can
dissipate in an 8 ohm load from a 14.4VDC source is

(14.4V/sqrt(2))²/8 ~ 13W

Actually, the maximum power you can dissipate in an 8-ohm load from a
14.4 VDC source is simply 14.4**2/8 = 26 W !

This is at DC though, of course.

If could produce that 26 W too it was a bridged amp reproducing a rectangular
wave, which is "AC." John likes sine waves, so he gets a little less power.

What is was was a flippant attempt at condescension. Funny part is, we
were talking audio and your:

"Consider a car system. 12v into 4 ohms will pass a maximum of 3 amps.
Watts = volts x amps. So the maximum theoretical power is....well,

is considering 12 volts _DC_ into 4 ohms, not 12VPP, so on top of it
all, you're basically stupid.

You're still a nasty rude man.
