[QUOTE="LoneRanger, post: 74979, member: 540903"] First off, when I said that I never popped the fuse, I should have said "I tried to pop the fuse and couldn't" I let it play a 59hz tone (the peak in my vehicle) for about 20 minutes in both one and two ohm mode (using an audiobahn AW1505Q as my one-ohm test subject, and a AW1506Q as my two-ohm guini pig) trying to test the maximum output of the amp. I swear, the fuse never popped. I've been told that most wafer-type fuses are underrated by 10-15a, and I know that it takes several seconds to blow a fuse that large....but 20 minutes of drawing 160-165 amps should have descimated that fuse! Secondly, my electrical system will, and has on many occasions held 14.0-14.4v of constant power @ the rear distro block with the engine running.....Jim Hudnall didn't believe it would do it either, but with a few small upgrades and a little inginuitive engeneering, it's not as optimistic as you'd think.
