I'm sorry, but this is so wrong. 'current' in Amperes in not something that is produced and then 'sent out' to the connected devices. It is a capacity of the power source to provide current to the connected devices. So you can power a device that draws 50 mA with a power supply rated for 50 A, and there is no chance to 'fry' the device. Vise versa is possible though - the device that draws too much current can fry the power supply that is not able to deliver. > All this ends up to the fact that the speakers cannot and are not > allowed to eat up more than this 500ma.
