[QUOTE="RAM_Designs, post: 7112928, member: 566575"] You also have to factor in efficiency, which is going to be ~60% in this case. And fuses can survive a good deal more current than they're rated for in short bursts. I believe the standard is 50% more for 3-5 seconds before a fuse will blow...depends on the exact fuse though. And even then, fuse rating can be misleading due to how certain companies decide to fuse/rate their stuff. All in all, it's a shot in the dark unless you actually bench the amps and find out real world figures. But like you said, he probably won't be able to tell the difference in power anyways unless one is supposed to put out a good deal more power than the other. [/QUOTE]
