How loud an amp can go is a difficult question even though it sounds simple. Maybe the question should be 'How can I get a loud sound from this amp?'The power rating of an amp will usually dictate how loud it will go 'WATTS' but also the quality of the components in the amp will change the way the sound is reproduced. This will also change your perception of how loud the music is. Your ears can only take a certain level of volume before they are damaged whether it is good quality sound or bad. Also it will also depend on what speakers the amplifier is driving. the speakers have the job of letting you here what the amp is sending and need to be suited to the amp. A good quality loud amp hooked up to poor quality low power rating speaker has to be 'capped' or 'restricted' to avoid blowing the speakers. A poor quality low powered amp with higher powered good quality speakers will struggle and not be able to drive the to create 'Good' 'LOUD' music. This will lead to over heating of the amp and failure.
However, A good quality powerful amp hooked up to a good pair of quality speakers that can take the power of the amp will sound LOUD and good. So you need a good package for loud sound. Spinal Tap or James Brown or Spice Girls will sound **** if they have an amp that goes up to 11 (11 what decibels?, marks on the dial? what it goes up to is irrelevant) but the speakers can't handle the amplification. As for your mate having a 240V amp I do believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that this is just the sourde power of electricity needed to run the amp. In England we use 220-240V whilst in the states they use 110V. In a car the power may be 12V or 14V. This bears no relevance to what power the amp can produce just what power it takes to run it. If you used a 220V amp in america you would have to use a power converter or it would not work.
And so ends the sermon.
Amen

Depends. What kind of amplifier we talking? a home reciever?
If you are talking about a car amplifier, then technically , it doesnt have a volume knob. It should have a gain adjustment though. What i like to do is turn the bass all the way down on the stereo, then adjust the gain on the amp, that way its all treble from the car speakers, and still got the low bass from the sub(s)
