Divide those power figures by the # of channels driven and you've got your answer as to how much power the amplifier can potentially deliver with all channels driven. So, factoring in efficiency, the available power from a 15A output would now be about 1400 watts and 1900 watts from a 20A line. The max efficiency one could expect from a Class AB amplifier is around 78%. A 120V/15A line max power output is 1800 watts while a 120V/20A line max power output is 2400 watts. It's important to note that not even Scotty from Star Trek could change the laws of physics, so don't expect an amplifier manufacturer to do so. Many manufacturers like to tout power figures that exceed the capabilities of the wall outlet they are plugged into. That's one heck of a powerful 7-channel amplifier!Įditorial Note About Amplifier Power and Wall Voltage by Gene DellaSala The reality is, the 7220 is capable of delivering almost the full 120V/20A power of a dedicated line (minus efficiencies). Although the amplifier is rated at 1800 watts total output power, it is capable of delivering over that for a short period of time as indicated by the fact they employed two 20A, 350V fuses (one for positive and one for negative rails) for each channel tied directly to the secondary leads of the power transformers. This amp is capable of running on a 120V/ 20A line so feed it a dedicated 20A outlet if you can. It delivers 220W per channel into an 8-ohm load with all seven channelsĭriven and 330 watts per channel into 4 ohms (assuming sufficient available wall current) realistically with about 4-5 channels driven.

#OUTLAW 5 CHANNEL AMP MOVIE#
Alright, we understand we're paying homage to what is said to be the worst Batman movie ever (Catwomen doesn't count since it's a stand alone movie and Hallie Berry is HOT in that costume), but in all seriousness, what Outlaw Audio has done with their newest Amplifier, the 7220, is pretty- well, cool.
