Message: <blockquote data-quote="RAM_Designs" data-source="post: 7028073" data-attributes="member: 566575">In a car audio application where you never see 100% power for more than a split second, I think it's a perfectly fine rating.  That's why 1/0 welding cable is rated so much lower, because it has a solid amount of current being ran through it for extended periods of time...this just doesn't happen with car audio installs.  So instead of being the one guy who rates his stuff based on continuous amperage, everyone kinda accepts that a 3kw amp(aka: 300 amp draw for simplicity's sake) can be safely ran in a daily system with a single run of 1/0.If one company were to actually rate their 1/0 based on what kind of amperage it can continuously handle, the mainstream buyer who knows no better would never buy their product...kinda like rms vs max power figures.</blockquote>
