[QUOTE="Aaron407, post: 384506, member: 550797"] Well I tried it and it's workin for the time being. I have the speaker outputs fused with only 5 amp fuses and they haven't blown, so I don't think I'm running even close to the current through the amp that it can. I'm also have the amplifier fused with two 15 amp fuses instead of the original dual 20s, just for extra protection. If I understand it correctly, running an amp at half the ohmic output load basically just tries to double the power, thus doubling the current draw. I assumed fusing each output with a 5 amp fuse would limit the output to ~100 watts rms before popping the fuse (P = (5 A^2)*4 ohm), a max of 200 watts rms between the two. Therefore it shouldn't be running the amp even close to as hard as having it full out on a bridged 4 ohm, making me think it should be alright. Does this sound right, or do I just have my head up my a$$? 407 [/QUOTE]
