Seems to be pretty light if a skinny little kid like that can hold it so easily...

It would fit just fine... on roof racks!

EDIT: the way that guy's holding it seems too light. But seriously what in the hell do you need 24KW for, an earthquake generator?

or a better question, what generates the power to power the amp? a few extra batteries in parallel?

Well I guess if you filled the back of your escalade with 15's you could manage something.

This Auction is for a **CUSTOM MODDED** Earthquake Powerhouse PH-D4 24000 (24,000) RMS/Continuous Power amp. The amp has gone through manny changes to get *modded, The power supply has been upgraded, resistores, caps etc....The amp is stable at .25 OHM and below **10 YEAR warr on this MONSTER

It would weigh more than the car, and a 944 doesn't have the towing capacity for the generator you'd need to power it. I wonder how much heat that thing would produce (if it were real). A little math fun, 24,000w rms=almost 34,000w peak (note seller's use of the word "continuous"). Anyone know the output voltage of something like that?
All amps make heat, an efficient amp makes less heat but they all make some. Heat, when produced electrically, can be measured in watts. Amps consume power in order to work, the amount they consume is dictated by how much power they put out and how much heat they make doing it plus any power used by fans, lights, switching relays etc. If we had the output voltage and efficiency of the anp, we could see what it would take to power it. I have a feeling that I've built TV stations that consume less power.

i wounder if it would blow the windows out of the car if you get a some real big subs. I have a itty bitty mtx amp and 2 10's (mtx) in my 944. Sounds really good but man that think would blow the windows out.

24,000 watts = 24 kW = 32.18 hp

Whoa.

My 944 has the stock stereo and my home system is at most 35 watts per channel and is all vacuum tubes.

What's my problem? Heh heh heh.
