2000 watts rms in the cab of a truck will kill insects and stunt the growth of small children if wired right.. with a true 2k power you can use 55 gallon drums for speakers.. here is an old trick.. half volume with a steady tone 1000 at 0 db.. measure the voltage and the current going to the speaker.. increase volume until you hear distortion.. multiply voltage time current... true power.. as close as can be determined... it will be way below posted power... but you will know what you are working with..
