It cant be called tapping in to blindly if you know what fuse does whatt and how much voltage (potental current) it has. Plus ill done it a few times and had no problems. But of course i tested the fused first

Resisters lower current flow because they have little electron buckets inside them.  The electron buckets catch the current as it flows through and cause a little water-wheel-type thing inside to spin.  This creates heat, which makes the electrons get all excited and jump out of the buckets so they can catch the next batch.  Of course since electrons exist in different states and it is uncertain where they really are at any time, if your resister is in Ohio your electrons might be in Florida so it wouldn't work properly.  stock radio - Page 2 -- posted image.

sorry steve, I misspoke. i was thinking of resistors in terms of speakers, the higher the impedance the lower the current. I didn't even think of the fact that the amp would only draw as much power as it needed

That's cool, bro.  Thanks for the mea culpa.  We just had some fun getting on you about it, that's all.
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Huh, why'd you put mea culpa in there?
That translates as "through my fault". I think I know what you were trying to say, but...
