Right.. this sounds like a laugh!
My new power distro has a digi amp draw readout... not had a chance to use it yet but still..
Who can rack up the highest current Draw.. not just one amp, your whole rack...
AND Pictures or STFU!
Let the ADDR World Championships begin!

Don't have any pics but at Glade two years ago I managed to get a rack consisting of two Camco Vortex6 + one Vortex 4 running a 3 way system to hit about 50A peak! And due to the sh1t cable which had been run into my tent from the genny the mains voltage was dropping to sub 200V on bass peaks! I calculated I was loosing about 1kW in the cable! Unsurprisingly it was getting a bit warm!
For the next day I aquired some 16mm2 cable, ran my own feed from the generator and actually got a stable supply. I'm just building some distros with ammeters so I'll be able to measure my current draw soon..... |

im going with oldschool illuminated VU meters (amperes and voltage) for that classic sexy audio look... and yes i do fill racks with flashy light bling which does nothing!

Damn, mine are analogue meters but not illuminated. Might have to do something about that!
