A little while back i was running an old pioneer active bass tube in the e30 (not sure of the model) which had a 4" dual coil sub in it, blew the sub up so i stripped the amp out of it, anyone any ideas on what sort of power output this would have??? It has a power consuption of 140w according to its heatsink....

power consumption is used to state the maxium output also (seen manily on in-house amps) , look at the amp it might say the model number, and whats the fuse rating 20amps? as that will give an ruff idea on ouput which is worked out using the following: Amps x 13.8 =watts (this is at 100% efficiency). To get ture power you take watts / efficiency% = Real power
