[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 8171271, member: 572164"] That's what amplifiers do and why they require so much current. Vehicles make low voltage with high amperage, the amp will convert that into a variable music signal that is higher in voltage usually but lower in amperage. Volts*Amps=Watts. 14v at 100 amps is 1400 watts, and 100v and 14 amps is also 1400 watts. Another reason his voltage is so high is because it is a **** ton of power that will take over 200 amps from the vehicle to produce... Good explanation. I always get those two mixed up. [/QUOTE]
