the power rating of the XPR-5 is overstated. It is rated at 600 watts x 5 at 4 ohms. While Class H isn't 100% efficient, let's assume it is for the moment. That's a 25 A draw.
While that's peak, why would anyone purchase an amplifier and hook it up to a circuit that cannot meet its current requirements?
"The XPR-5 requires a 20 Amp circuit and...
