Amp is short for Ampere, the unit for current flow. Watts is a unit of energy expended. One horsepower is 735 watts. If you were to compare electricity with water Amps would be buckets per second and watts would describe the force of the water.
AnswerThe ampere (A) is the base unit for electric current in SI. The watt (W) is the derived unit for power in SI.
The ampere is defined in terms of the force between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors.
The watt is defined as the rate of doing work and, therefore, is a special name given to a joule per second.

1200 watt wiring kit suitable for a 800 watt amp and 1100 watt sub not sure whether this would have a effect on the cables?
1200 Watt wiring is more than enough for an 800 Watt amp. The rating of the sub doesn't make any difference to the cables. If you want to use the sub to its rated power you should get a bigger amp. If the amp can only give out 800 Watts and the sub can take 1100 Watts then you can put a bigger amp on. It is still going to be loud as with an 800 Watt amp. I have a 300 watt amp with a 1200 Watt sub and people hear me coming.
Can a 1200 watt amp power a 300 watt box?
yes it can
Can you use a 600 watt amp with a 500 watt subwoffer?
yes
How big is a 10 watt amp?
a watt is power, or 1 joules sec= 1 watt an amp is 6.242 × 1018 electrons passing a given point each second,
Can a 800 watt amplifier push two 1052 watt subwoofers?
Yes the amp can push the 2 subs. I have 2 1250 watt 12inch subs and 1 maybe 400 or 500 watt amp and the amp does fine but if you want more bass at lower levels of volume then you want to have a bigger amp. Just make sure your amp doesnt blow your subs.
Can you power a 1300 watt sub with a 1500 watt amp?
Yes, are we talking rms or max? If its rms you will have no problem. well the amp is a 1500 watt max but 350wx1 rms in 4 ohm
How many watt in an amp?
That depends on the voltage.
What is the relationship between a volt an amp and a watt?
Voltage times amps equals watts. A watt is sometimes called a volt-amp because one volt times one amp equals one watt.
What is the difference between an amp and a watt?
The relationship is, a watt is the product of amps x volts.
Can a 1200 watt amp power a 1300 watt sub?
It's actually a good idea to have a speaker that can handle higher wattage than the amp can produce.
Can a 1200 watt amp give good bass to 2 kicker cvr 12's?
It depends on the rms of the two cvrs combined. Also if the 1200 watt amp is 1200 watt rated (rms) or 1200 watt peak. Lets say the two kickers have an rms of 600 watt each, and the amp is 1200 watt rms, which it probably isnt but i'll pretend. This set up would work because 600 of the amps watts would be correctly matched with one sub, and the other 600 would go to the other sub.
Can a 200 watt amp power a 250 watt rms sub?
YES! it won't reach it's peak, but that's also probably a good thing, cause it'll be harder to blow your sub. i prefer to buy either the exact watt match for my subs and amp, or buy the next lower watt amp from my subs
