[QUOTE="Bumpin' Goalie, post: 6677254, member: 616941"] When an amp isn't receiving proper current, it "compensates" in this way (metaphor): smaller gears having to move faster to produce "x" amount of power vs. Bigger gears moving normal speeds to get proper power. And it is true that my amps output is cut due to the limitation of my wire. And i am running the wire to its brink. However, a few more feet of wire and a fuse sure cost a lot less and take up a lot less space than a batt, a ho alt, etc. Also, neither of my amps run "hot," the mono stays cool, the 2 channel doesn't exceed warm. I estimate my AQ1200d is actually giving me ~900 @ 13.4volts and is using a good percentage of my wires capabilities. My JL 300/2 is probably giving ~70 a side ([IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG]). I come to the conclusion for the JL, due to it having a 40 amp rating, my older 2 channel having a 30 amp rating, and the older amp, with less than half the power to dispense, was pushing the front stage harder with less gain adjustment (leading me to believe that the hose cannot carry any more water safely) [/QUOTE]
