[QUOTE="PowerNaudio, post: 1763226, member: 561215"] the lower the impedance load the more current it will draw from your amplifier. if youre worried that your current electrical system is not up to the task. find the continues amperage of your alternator and add the fuses on the amp, if the fuse amperage exides the alternator output in amps, then its time to up grade your alternator or just rund the amp at a higher impedance load. that way you dont put too much stress on your electrical system. i would not set the gain of an amplifier without a load, use ether a pasive load or a reactive load. for the simple fact that most amp use fedback from the amplifier output to the voltage amplifier, if you dont have a load then the adjustment made could be inacurate.
