I was actually wondering about those amps too, I've read a lot of mixed reviews for those. I guess they're decent for the price. I've also read that they're very power hungry.

They rate those amps at 17v.

To get that kind of power, your car needs to be on 17v. Buy something else. Those things are garbage.

Thanks for posting that, johnecon2001. I was just thinking that those were the ones rated for 17v electricals. Your average 13.5~14.5vdc charging system isn't going to allow you to get anywhere near that rated output //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

exactly, they wont put out near what they are rated at unless you got the volts.

my guess is about half rms in a normal car without a super charging system.
