What is the make and model of your amp? It shoudl be listed in the manual. If you don't have it I can try to find it for you.

I run a 1000watt amp, and mine should be around a 50-80 amp draw (according to the manual). What is the amp rating on your power supply?

I haven't bought it yet. the amp rating is 9 amp only. are you sure that is the rating of the amp that will be drawn from the power supply? or that is the amp that will be absorbed by the speaker in full load?

What make/model amp are you looking at. 9A seems too low for the current draw.

HA HA very funny aznboi. But ignore most of anything I posted last night (most have mysteriously vanished regardless and for that I am grateful)

Anyhow, someone posted earlier (I think golden oldie) asking about the difference between preamp (rca) and high level inputs on todays equipment.

His "guess" is correct.

The preamp input is for the preamp signal from head unit to processors/amp(s).

The high level input if so equipped on many amplifiers is for an amplified input such as using in conjunction with a factory headunit which does not have any rca's or preamp signal readily available without "digging in" to the unit..

The H/L input signal is generally not as clean but it gives more options for ian amplifiers use...ie: adding an amp for sub or more power to the mids/highs w/ a factory or a cheaper "non preamp" output head unit.

I rarely use the high level inputs but in one or two circumstances they have served thier purpose for me.

See you all around.
