SnowDrifter Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 As the title suggests... I was considering getting one, but I looked at the power draw at 8 ohms/channel. 13.6amps at 1/3d power??!! I can't ever see this amp reaching full power without blowing the breakers. How are they powered at 120v? Multiple outlets?

SnowDrifter Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) and off we go to the home theater forum. Sorry! But The amp is for pro audio, but I wasn't going to use it for that, rather home audio, nor was it for it's intended use for pro audio. I guessed that general audio would have been safe, but I guess I was wrong. I also thought that I would get more responses on it in general audio since that has more people browsing it. Won't happen again Edited November 23, 2010 by Christopher Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
