[QUOTE="RAM_Designs, post: 6738672, member: 566575"] 108amps x 14.5V = 1566 But you're forgetting to take into account efficiency. That amp is probably around 75% efficient at 1ohm, so realistically you're looking at around 1200 watts. And that's if you did the clamp testing right. What meter did you use, how far into the test tone was the reading taken? What was the voltage when the reading was taken because it's not going to be 14.5V on a 12V system once "1500" watts is being pulled through it. Lots of variables that you probably didn't measure for or do properly. Add on top of that questionable quality, and I'll gladly take my money elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
