i have a monsoon amp sitting in front of me, how to tell if its 200w or 500w? i got a monsoon amp that was claimed to be from a 2001 camaro SS, and iirc all 01-02 had 500w amps, correct?
how do i tell this is a 500w amp before i put it into my car?
i tried looking at the part number but according to the parts manual the same part# was used from 98-02

this is true 
I wouldnt worry about it too much, its not a true 200watt amp anyways
