Give an example of an amp that you're referring to as a high current amp.
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

I provided a description about the differences of the two in your other thread about the same subject.  Here's the link: https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=37995&KW=adire

Okay, in laymen's terms (easy for me because that's what I am), there is no difference in installation of either class of amplifier.  A high current amp is only high current if it is being used at the lowest ohm loads, i.e., at or below 2 ohm mono or 1 ohm stereo.  You have to find out what power the amp will need and supply the proper wiring and alternator.  A high current amp will require exactly the same power and wiring as a typical A/B amp if both are run at a 4 ohm load.
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
