Is there a model number on it somewhere? If so, google that.

Depends on the amount of subs and the ohms (resistance)

Rated Power:
85 Watts x 2 @ 4-Ohms
125 Watts x 2 @ 2-Ohms
250 Watts x 1 @ 4-Ohms bridged

first off.... THE GAIN IS NOT A VOLUME CONTROL!!!!!!!! if you think it is youll either blow the subwoofer or blow the amplifier OR BLOW BOTH!
the amplifiers output depends on the subwoofer voice coil configuration and the way you wire it up if its dual voice coil.

Addicted is right, the gain is NOT a volume ****, and you cant turn a subwoofer up.....lol

Anyways, the amp is rated at 250 if you bridge the channels (which can only be done with a 4 ohm single voice coil sub or a 2 ohm dual voice coil sub). to find out how much it really puts out, you can have it bench tested.
