how much power can this handle? I have some audio amplifiers I want to turn on/off remotely.

As stated on the specs, it can handle 15 amps at 115 V AC before its breaker kicks. In a single phase AC supply, as in your house, the power consumed by an inductive load, like your amplifier, is approximately 115 x 15 x 0.7 watts which is about 1200 watts. Note that this means the amp is running wide open which generally doesn't happen, and secondly, music or other audio do not consume power at a constant rate. So, you can probably handle at least twice as much nominal "music" wattage with the Tripp Lite. I have found that anything I can plug into a standard outlet will also work fine with the Tripp. As stated on the specs, it can handle 15 amps at 115 V AC before its breaker kicks.

I only have my TV, VCR and Comcast box attached to mine. (The wi-fi and cable router are plugged into the strip on the "always on" side.) [ Not sure this is enough help for you. ]

You only need one Power Inserter per amp - it should be used on the port labeled Remote Power

I don't know the power as I haven't a means to test it, but I'd assume that 500mA is what they provide. I do know that they provide power and I use thme to charge usb speakers, a small helicopter, usb headset and many other devices as well as a Nook HD+ and IPad all at the same time. I also use it as a hub when I'm on my desktop computer (usually on the laptop).

Karl, It doesn't use much power but I would recommend that you disconnect it when you're not using it. I've read statistics about the enormous amount of energy we use worldwide by not disconnecting the millions of devices like this. I use a power strip for my stereo, TV (it stays semi powered up if plugged in), and other devices. I just flip the strip off and everything connected to it gets shut down. The power strip may not be possible for you (or overkill) but I would disconnect when not in use.

After ur ?? I ran across a blog where a guy is powering a 350 watt car amp and a 12" mtx sub. "Im using a 250watt AT PC power supply that provides 10amps on the 12+v line. With this configuration I can easily power my amp and get great house shaking music now in my room." So rated at 30 amps continuous, u should have no problem. Is your input power fuse 30 amps or less? I would double check the maximum power requirements of my gear. This is not the quietest power supply, but u will quickly drown out any noise from this.

my guess is it depends on your speakers ... audio amplifiers can be 25W, 75W, 125W, and up ... i use a 75W amplifier (made by PYLE) and it has plenty of power.

It's gonna be too little. I have a 2200 kenwood d block amp on it at the momont and it knocks that off. So you may need more power then that

You will need a power source. Dayton and Lepai both make inexpensive amps that would go the job.

The remote (http://audioengineusa.com/Store/Accessories/A5-plus-remote) controls volume, and can mute the speakers and put them to sleep. I assume that the latter mode means the amp is put in standby, rather than simply silencing the output.

I actually power mine with an 8 watt tube amp (the K12G kit amplifier from TubeDepot). Sounds great and easily fills a bedroom or small office with sound. Most of the smaller solid state amps sold through Amazon have more power than that, so really any decent one will work.

fROM THEIR WEB SIGHT VHF-Band DC Power "Pass"ive for remote preamplifier powering In short don't worry about unless you need a pre amp OR Call their Tech Support Line at 877-825-5572 Monday - Friday 9am - 9 pm CST and Saturday - Sunday, 10am -6pm. I use an amp at the TV end because I'm so far from the signal origin

I would suggest a mono block amplifier. With those subs this amp will reach thermal shutdown in 20 to thirty minutes

The speaker specifications say it can handle 25 watts RMS. It's easy to say that the amplifier should be none larger than the spec. But, you could connect them to any size amp provided that you do not "turn up the volume" to a sustained "average" level of 25 watts. It will handle brief peaks of 50 watts. In everyday use, with any sized amplifier, you will know when you are sneaking up on a maximum level (it won't sound too good at that point).

It's not necessarily bad for the amplifier, but keep in mind that it may make a slight buzz or hum while it's on. The power consumption of it while idle is very little. Though you should keep in mind that power fluctuations may damage the components if it's left on. Go for it.

I am using it with two speakers and my tv as the source. I guess if you speakers watts sum like 150-200 watts you can use it (aprox 40-50 watts each).My speakers are 100 watts each and they play OK. But I doubt that it will drive 4 100 watts speakers. That is my opinion for what is worth but I am not an expert on this matter.

I'm not sure about how much power, but you don't need a 20A line to run this amplifier, but if you have a dedicated line is even better

No. These are passive monitors and the power is turned on and off by your amplifier.
