Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 8754 Registered: Jun-04 | well im going to say no you wont be ok if you crank it...that 70 amps is not at idle only when driving...plus it takes amperage to run the cars electronic needs...but you will soon find out...and music can be almost as bad as test tones...its still frequency based...watch your volt meter with music on low notes and youll probably see what I mean |

Platinum Member Username: Big_edge_headMilwaukee, Wisconsin MY SUBS GET ... Post Number: 1826 Registered: Mar-07 | Autozone or any car parts store will have them. For a simple one it'll only cost like 15-20 bucks. If you wanted something nicer like a digital one than they usually go for a lot more. |
