[QUOTE="bigpoppahump, post: 8640236, member: 673376"] I'm fused with 160a at the block in the back on the sub amp and 60a on the 4ga CCA thats connected to mids/highs amp so I know I'm not pulling a ton of amperage yet or I think I would be blowing fuses. I am curious as to what it is pulling currently and will be picking up a clamp meter to see. I know my box rise is pretty high. I was able to run a ppi phantom 1k at .5ohms for about a year before upgrading. I just set the gain a bit lower than where it went into protect and the distortion light on my dd-1 never lit even to protection. Before you debunk that, I am an idiot so take that with a grain of salt. It's a dc power 270xp. Support did have me cut the blue wire that sends the alt battery voltage, and connect it directly to the battery but it made no difference. Thanks everyone for all the help so far. [/QUOTE]
