[QUOTE="Ed Lester, post: 4726412, member: 587479"] and to answer your question about the Rockford T15K. It can be as much as 300% efficient. When music is played there are many breaks and pauses. Most amps will draw very low current during these times. The T15K will still draw a fair amount of current because at these times it will charge the internal capacitor bank. It will store the extra power that it will need when the music kicks back in. All of this happens in very fast times, miliseconds. And Yes, the shorter the wire, the more current can pass within a certain gauge, but most of the time people run from the battery up front, to the amps in the back. This is usually 10ft or more.
