How many watts output does a simple 30 gig laptop put out?

Question

and if you attach an amp that is near 2000 watts, will it always put out 2000 watts or does it depend on how loud you play the volume?

Answer 1

The power output of the laptop does not matter when it comes to audio amplification.  The headphone output of the laptop is the right level for the inputs on the amp.  The amp will put out the full 2000 watts if you turn the amp up that much.

In other words, the "watts" that the laptop puts out does not matter.

I would suggest getting cheap mixer to connect between the laptop and the amp.   It will help in controlling the volume levels.
