[QUOTE="Savant, post: 144555, member: 546108"] Depends.. my amps are 'rated' at 2000 RMS (combined at 2 ohm), my speakers 1800 (total).. I doubt I'll be hitting that, but at 1800 RMS it's ~260 aperes at a 50% efficient AB amp.. If he is really running 1600+ RMS he might need over 200 amps (to allow for the vehicle's draw).. Still, 200 amperes should be fine for normal running I'd think.. most people aren't gonna max their amps on daily driving (not to the tune of 1600+ rms anyway).. I could be wrong [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] (I'm showing ~238 amperes at 50% efficiency on AB amps at 1640 watts.. one at 800, the other at 840... 228 if you can maintain 14.4 volts) [/QUOTE]
