Even with gain and bass boost all the way up my amp won't produce anywhere near the output voltage it should. The amp is a ma audio hk-598. I'm running it bridged. How could I tell if the fuses in the amp are to small? They are only 2x30 that seems a little small. Now I have the gain set about 3/4 up. Gain goes from 2mv to 4v and my HU preamp is 2.5v. Bass boost is about 1/4 up. I have set the gains multiple times, but I can't figure out what output voltage this amp should be giving me.

Amps output is supposed to be.
200w x 4 @ 4ohm
400w x 4 @ 2ohm
800w x 2 @ 4ohm
I have no clue what voltage that is at though.

Anyone want to trade me an amp that will better suite my needs?

Did all that multiple times. Right now I've got it putting out about 14.5v. That calculator says it should be at 28.3v. The amp won't go that high.

What happens if you put fuses that are to small in the amp. Will it blow the fuses or limit the amps output?

Well I think the fuses that came with the amp may be larger then recommended. All the other amps of the same model have 30 fuses and mine has 40. I bought it used so I don't really know what it should have.
