MIKE-2U Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Correct me if im wrong but amps produce ac amps, but take in dc amperage. You alternator puts out dc amperage and so does your battery. I am also looking for a clamp to use on my alternator. What it needs to say is true RMS and be able to read dc amps 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee LaredoPioneer AVH- 3200DVD2/0 Flex-A-Prene Welding Cable (2) Fully Loaded Fi Sp4's dual 1-------> My YouTube Channel <------- Needs more power those woofers will laugh at that turd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerickson Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 That is correct. The amp needs AC so the subs can move in and out. Not one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterJohnson Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 atleast at home depot I can return it I think I'll take advantage of the deal it's pretty good 130 bucks for a legit DMM and a nice Clamp Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
