Using Power = Voltage^2 / Resistance

I get 63 volts at 4 ohms.

How did you get 72?

My question might be why for my own curiosity. Might you be wanting to run some household appliances with your amp? Like what I seen some rep do with a RF 800. They ran a 10” skill saw and cut a 2X4. All they did was play a 60Hz tone.

80*80 / 2 = 3600 watts. No efficiency needed. Just make sure that 80 volts is actually there during the hit.

And that's the bottom line, cuz:
