[QUOTE="loopkiller, post: 5718989, member: 601690"] In reality, the maximum amperage your car can provide is easy to calculate. The ability of your car to provide that current in a quick enough method to power your audio is the real dilemma. You can monitor the ability to provide current by simply monitoring your voltage. As amperage draw increases past current capacity, your voltage will sag. These dips in voltage can be seen visibly in your lights if the change is fast enough. Those same dips in voltage are what can kill your precious audio equipment. [/QUOTE]
