Ah, Denim you like the Rubi's huh ? Some oeople says it get's a little hot and draws a lot of current. Is that true ?

I just installed a Rub1000-2 and it does not draw more current than my PG 600Wamp. I have a stock alternator and the lights only dim slightly. Nice amp!

Ok, I just ordered the Picasso, for two reasons.

1) Money, short of it right now and I need more power.

2)Current draw. I have a Phoenix Gold Octane 8.04 amp

75 x 4 and another Phoenix Gold 5.04 on the way 50 x 4.

That's 500 watts already, so I didn't want to add to much

in the way of power and I don't want to get another alternator

for my Vette.
