    Default how can i test my amps wattage?

    hi all, i have a 800w mono block amp, or so it says because it seems to be struggling to power 2 subs, it has 2 25a fuses, but i removed one, and it still works ? lol will that affect its output? and how would i test it?

    14v x 25A = 350W
    Amp is only about 80% efficient at turning power into sound, so;
    350 x 0.8 = 280W

    What amp?
