the actual rms output of those amps are quite low...if its rated @ 680, then they rate it @ 170peak x4 (roughly) so it has maybe 50-75rms per channel of clean power.

Select "Jensen Mobile" then look up the amp's model number to find a copy of the owner's manual. All the specs are in there.

My 4 channel Jensen amp is great. The cardboard it's holding down hasn't blown away in 3 years.
