[QUOTE="johnecon2001, post: 742614, member: 556589"] watts / volts = amps. So if you draw less watts, then the amperage will be different. I believe that amps with a regulated power supply can draw a constant, but there are very few of these and the price tag climbs significantly. So assuming your electrical system has a 14.4v charging capacity then 1000w/14.4v = 69.44A. Where 500w/14.4v = 34.72. The size of the cable can limit the power available to the amp. Although if you over draw a cable, most likely what will happen is an electrical fire or you pop the fuse. [/QUOTE]
