[QUOTE="nismo, post: 65519, member: 544594"] amped speakers will get MUCH louder before they distort. if you got the jbl 80.4, it would draw less than 10 amps to run the highs...and even with a 1200.1 in there also, as long as you watch your gains, i wouldnt worry about doing damage to the electrical system. just make sure you upgrade the battery to ground, battery to alt, and alt to ground wires to 1 size larger than your power wire (ie use 2 gauge to upgrade those if you use 4 gauge for your amps). dont worry about the current draw thing, at worst youll have some dimming if youre careful...but if you upgrade those other wires, you shouldnt have any problems, even at higher volumes. eric [/QUOTE]
