[QUOTE="NJack2AF, post: 1705894, member: 558031"] Hey I'm obviously no car audio or electronics genius, but I have been doing some reading... Help me out here and tell me if I'm correct. If an amp is putting out the same wattage at 1 ohm and 4 ohms it is going to pull a lot less current at 4 ohms right? So if I were to switch from my PA3000DB 2000w ish @1ohm to say a PG Tantrum 1200.1 1200w ish @4 ohms, it will draw far less current right? (obviously because it is lower wattage but say the wattage were the same with the PA were wired to 1 ohm, so say I had the gains down to put out approx the 1200 the PG puts out) I'm trying to prolong the life of my alt/batt and plan to add comps soon which=another amp. Help me out, "constructive" criticism would be nice if I'm way off.
