It advertises 240 watts MOSFET power. Does that mean it has different loudness settings albeit this would probably add the the THD levels?

Yes. I have been thoroughly impressed by this unit. Multiple sound adjustments available.

Short answer = No. Long answer = maybe Speakers are rated in Watts==its a Power measurement. Power = I [current in Amps] x Voltage [of the line out from the Amplifier.] http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/electrical-formulas-d_455.html The power supply is rated at 24 volts and 5 amps which = about 120 watts to power the unit. The amplifier is not a bridged type amplifier and cannot drive anything less than 8 ohms on one channel. Maximum 50 watts per channel. see --- http://www.daytonaudio.com/media/resources/300-383-dayton-audio-dta-100a-manual-43827.pdf As you wish to put two speakers in Parallel and they are 8 ohms=== then you are lowering the ohm's of the speaker to about 4 ohm's, this is not in the spec for this amplifier. If your speakers are 16 ohm and you put them in parallel then that will be alright === the result of that is 8 ohms, this is how most TV speakers are set up.[ assuming that each is 25 watts.] Remember it is a small amp and to incrementally increase the volume over time to see how it handles it. Else get a different amplifier.

Yes, usually when speakers are labelled at a certain wattage, it means that is their max wattage they can handle. Your head unit should handle it just fine.

Its really 1200 watts because its C.e.a. certified on the box. They only put that on if it passes the testing they do on it for power. I have the same one at 1ohm and it sounds amazing i have no complaints so far.

VERY low harmonic Distortion once under a very small load of 30 + watts. Under that it has about 4%, over 30+ watts draw on the gen its almost utility grade power up to about 4800 watts than the THD gets bad in a progressive rate to over 7% in the full load with a volt drop of 7 volts from the unloaded ( under 30 watts) run voltage of 122 VAC. Never START this gen with a load of ANY KIND already on it unless your have it feeding a UPS.POKY AKA, Madashell

To my understanding it's 25W. Mine was bought 2nd hand and runs a pair of 100 W 6 Ohm bookshelf speakers just fine, add an active sub if needed. There's plenty of settings and EQ to get you satisfied. One major surprise i had was, that you must have have a TV connected for both setup and use.

The wattage sounds a bit low, our speakers are 300 watts @ 8 Ohms each, your sound tech amp will probably only put out around 100 watts @ 8 ohms

It's basically saying if you split it and run two channels you will split the power. I run it into a single channel 4x10 cabinet. Plenty loud with that. The lower the ohms the more power directed to the channel.

Im not completely sure but I think it's 30w per zone, 15w per stereo speaker, I have the system paired with Sonance speakers model CR101, the store where I bought them told me this model of speakers are ideal for this kind of applications, when friends come to my house I usually set the volume to 40%, at 80% it's very loud, and I'm 38 jajaja don't think I'm an old user, at 80% you can't chat with friends.

Just checked manual and it refers to the website. To be honest, it sounds more like 100 W RMS than 180.

Checked the Owner's Manual which lists the output as 20W + 20W, or 20 watts per channel. Very low distortion permits this compact unit to produce very high quality sound. I have it connected to AudioEngine bookshelf speakers and a subwoofer. I am VERY PLEASED with this product.

Yes, the power is not power full due to the fact that it uses for laptop and it doesn't have sub-woofer. If you want more or louder noise, you need to buy the system which has power sub-woofer. I have the same issue. Thanks

According to the manufacturers page, it would be 670w @ 4ohms (http://poweracoustik.com/store/products/amplifiers/crypt/cpt1-2000.html) However.. I would strongly recommend STAYING FAR AWAY FROM THESE AMPS!! They're complete junk. They don't put out the rated watts and will overheat if you actually use them at 2ohm.. which you absolutely should be. Spend just a few dollars more and get at least a Maxxsonics product (HiFonics, MB Quart). You could pick up a HiFonics unit for $100 more that would run circles around this amp and you could easily put it to 2ohms and get 1300w RMS out of it no problem.. http://www.amazon.com/Hifonics-Hfi2000d-Watt-Block-Amplifier/dp/B003PSAQXA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1397131281&sr=1-1&keywords=hifonics+2000w+mono

There are 2 seven watt drivers and 1 fifteen watt sub-woofer so I would estimate a very clean and loud ten watts before any noticeable distortion. I don't run it wide open because that is TOO LOUD!!! 1/2 to 2/3 volume is loud. Below 1/2 volume is normal. Maybe about 1/3 volume for quiet listening.

I have two of these subwoofers. One in the family room connected to TV and stereo. One in the media room connected to TV and stereo. This is a good subwoofer or I would not have bought a second. It is powered on normal household current of 110 volts. I cannot imagine why a speaker would need 240 volts.

It Is Mono So It Is 400 RMS For Both Subs Not Per...And You Might Want More Watts...I Do...400 Does Not Get The Ultra Low Notes Enough Punch

I am unsure how Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) affects sound quality at low to moderate volume, which is what I play this unit at. The sound quality is excellent through Bose Acoustimass 5 speakers. I listen to Internet radio and podcasts, FM radio and digital audio from a HDTV. All audio modes are excellent to my ear.
