New member Username: Tambk1Post Number: 4 Registered: Apr-05 | A quick question..my amplifier mentions in the user manual that the maximum current draw is 75 amps but the amp has 2 30 amp fuses on board? Why 2 30 amp (60 amp total) when the actual manual mentions max.current draw 75 amps? I know that test tones draw far more current than music but a little confused here. Please could someone shed some light on this for me. |
