    No you're not genius. You have somehow gotten your information wrong. No one and I mean no one has an amplifier that draws 480 amps. At least no one who doesn't already know what they are dealing with.

    More than likely you are confused it has a potential output wattage of 480 watts no way will a car amplifier ever use 480 amps! Even double ott power wire cant handle that many amps.

    Look at the fuses on the amp its self use an inline fuse that is what that fuse or fuses equal. Say it has 2 30 amp fuses you need to install a 60 amp inline fuse holder, if it only has one you need a 30 amp inline fuse.

    A standard car battery and automotive electrical system cant handle a 480 amp draw no way!

    Even with three 0 gauge wires DC's largest amp should never draw more than 375 amps otherwise you overheat the wire and could start a fire. 0 gauge wire should only run 125amps max other wise it could melt the insulation and start a fire.

    Source(s): My brain and installing car audio equipment, I have not seen a single amp that will draw 480 amps ever!

    i haven't seen the Dibiase boys, yet i admire Cody Rhodes' ability. he's already have been given the presents to be between the super in-ring opposition of his time. He in simple terms needs some extra time to mature and verify his character. i think of if he could be 0.5 as reliable on the mic as Dusty is, there could be not something scuffling with him from being a multi-time international champion. i do unlike DH Smith. He has way too lots of a toddler face. i don't think of he has the character to make it. I observed him promoting in that Cena/Orton vs. uncooked experience some weeks in the past, and he had somewhat some the worst pained facial expressions I unquestionably have ever seen. He oversold it too lots. Of those I unquestionably have seen, Cody Rhodes sounds like he has limitless ability. i think of DH Smith would be at terrific a midcarder, Teddy Hart will by no skill quantity to something because of the fact of his recommendations-set, and that i will might desire to be affected person the different ability 2nd and third era wrestlers before I style an opinion on them.
