But that's a calculation for continuous operation, which is completely unrealistic unless you happen to like listening to white noise or sine waves.
I have a pair of active loudspeakers in my lounge. Each has 13 amplifier modules in with a total power output of 8200W, however they plug into a 13A socket and I have never blown any fuses or tripped any breakers when running them at levels that make my eyeballs vibrate and things upstairs rattle.
There's a very big difference between running something flat out continuously and requiring very short term bursts of high power.

13 amplifier modules per speaker - that doesn't add up for a stereo pair? It's either 12 or 14 (unless you've neglected to mention a sub of course).
Also - are these Class D or A/B (or G?).
Additionally, in an average room with average efficiency speakers (~90 db per M per 1 watt), it doesn't take a huge amount of watts to create a big noise.

A new thread could probably be started, however the context would be lost.ks?A slight thread deviation now and then is harmless, if you don't like what you see, simply scroll on by...
And as the thread OP I believe I have the right to allow the occasional diversion.

Make, please. I'm in the process of renovating my Meridian M10 speakers, just wondering if I need 14 amplifiers in each. 
Lol @ the comments guys.
Perhaps you should just chill.
It may not be interesting you, but it is to me.
There are plenty of threads that go off on a tangent for a few posts and then get back on track again - it's just the nature of things.
I don't know why you're getting so upset about it.

Who do you imagine frequents a thread like this? Of course they’ll get upset! That’s why they are here

I know. Please stop! Post some snake oils products for us to laugh at, I stead of giving us a headache.
We are simple people, easily entertained, and easily bored.
Not everyone is happy to not understand things.We are simple people, easily entertained, and easily bored.
After all only through understanding can you decide if something is BS.
Upset? Bored more like. I use PH for idle amusement during downtime and reading about the latest cable for £30k is indeed amusing.
What’s not amusing is people flexing their adenoids over sine waves and clipping. It’s dull and uninteresting for those who want to read the thread for some light relief.
You say scroll on, I say start another thread dedicated to the techy stuff. Takes less than a minute, off you go.

Again, I'm not here to dance for you. If you know how to do the sums, do them yourself. If you don't know how to do the sums, look them up.
Where's my cake?
So you found the post where you committed.. just a bluff?Where's my cake?
Reasonable to call that bluff.
Would you like me to provide the equations, so get you started?

It is an interesting British cultural trait, to go on attack when faced with things they don't understand. What’s not amusing is people flexing their adenoids over sine waves and clipping. It’s dull and uninteresting for those who want to read the thread for some light relief.

I don’t want to be overly rude but that is very condescending. The more knowledgeable become the target.
Another interesting trait is simply not taking a statement at face value. This is a car forum where most people come to relax, rather than obsess (at least outside NP&E).
For those that want to tug themselves off to pictures of oscilloscope traces, there are several ‘objectivist’ HiFi fora stuffed full of people who listen to, or simply measure, their equipment rather than to the music it generates.

If you think you’re being attacked, you’re more sensitive than than the widgets you obsess over and bore everyone else to tears about. The more knowledgeable become the target.
It’s supposed to be a fun thread. If you don’t want it to be a fun thread and want to stone it to death with your superior knowledge of electronics, you crack on. Just don’t expect us mere mortals to stick around.
