[QUOTE="mudflap1989, post: 8627977, member: 674636"] Thanks. I didn't realize that the impedance rose like that. I measured the amperage in the speaker wire and it was around 6amps at 30 something volts (~180 watts). Apparently what I'm expecting to measure isn't correct though. I was expecting to measure ~1,500 watts input the amp (allowing for efficiency loss) or 1,200 output because that is what I thought the amp would output when connected to a 1 ohm nominal load. But actually the amp is operating against a much higher load and its actual output is going to be less than rated power at impedance above 1 ohm. Are there any real world scenarios where my setup would get anywhere near an actual 1200 watt output? Part of my limitations in building my system was that I have a hybrid, so I can't upgrade the alternator and I'm stuck with the 100amp output from the hybrid charging system. Right now bough, ,I am nowhere near this 100amp limit, the highest I've measured into the amp is 42 amps. [/QUOTE]
