[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1706291, member: 555320"] No. You are [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] But it's okay...it's a common question/misconception. In this situation, the impedance that the amplifier is driving is of absolutely zero significance. All that is important to the current draw is the amplifiers efficiency, the amplifiers output power (completely regardless of what impedance it is delivering that power into), and the voltage of the electrical system. Those are plain and simply the only factors. 1kw is 1kw. And at XX% efficiency on XX.X voltage electrical system, it is going to require XXX amount of current draw to support that amount of power output, completely regardless of the load the amplifier is powering.
