Members cap'n'crunch Posted August 30, 2011 Members Share Posted August 30, 2011 5 amps output? I think that means it will like run 5 amps all at the same time (one amp = 1 amp). Although for some reason it only has one AC outlet. Oh well, get a power strip to hook up 5 amps. Notice they also sell fire extinguishers. If it blows your amps then you could always file a claim. Do not try this at home folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fretless Posted August 31, 2011 Members Share Posted August 31, 2011 no don't think it's a good idea go higher , both amps are pushing 6 amps or more . However I recommend using a voltage regultor for everyday use , less chance of accidental amp launching . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PaoloJM Posted August 31, 2011 Members Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'm sure it'll be fine, being Chinese it will have passed all necessary safety and electrical testing and will be of merchantable quality.Actually the worst thing that could happen it is blows up which might be fun if you video it.
