Please help me understand this. i purchased what was advertised to be a 680Watt apmplifer. when I recieve it, the marking state that the Amp is a 2 channel 75Watt amplifier.
Am I missing something here?

If that was the advertisement, then their ad is misleading. Even if they were advertising max watts, the total would still only be 75 watts x 2 = 150 watts RMS. Max would be 150 watts x 2 = 300 watts. Perhaps the 75 watts is into 8 Ohms? However, even if it is and the amplifier can double its power into 4 Ohms (most amps on the market will not fully double in ooutput power by cutting the impedance in half) the total watts would still max out at only 600 watts.
What model of amplifier is it? Since there are so many other variables that will determine the amplifier's worth, if you can tell me what brand and model of amp it is, I can help you with what it's worth.

You should never buy an amplifier without checking all the power output specifications it has.What you have really got is an amplifier whose peak music power output is 680 watts which is a meaningless figure.This rating should never appear with a top quality 2 channel hi fidelity amplifier.Depending on your speakers if the 75 watt rating is a continuous or rms output it should be enough but check the owner's manual to be sure.

thats peake power that turns out to be75watts rms which means continuois power. which is not bad.

75w rms can be made to calculate to 340w peak. So yes and no.
