[QUOTE="RYAN LOUDMUSIC JENKINS, post: 97987, member: 70"] Re: Power Feeder and Voltage Drop Uhmmmm, you want to upgrade to 2/0 banded....? I think you mean #2 banded. Home boy would never roll up 2/0 at the end of the night if it was banded. So here is my take on it. You don't have an amplifier performance problem. You probably won't notice any difference in most situations by upgrading your distros and feeder cables unless you are constantly into the limiters. What you will notice with more power is that your amps will be trotting along giving you the same performance that you would have been slamming your old amps to get. I think you are more than likely experiencing some serious power compression and your rig is physically not capable of Irving you any more. Somewhere here or on the other forums I started a thread about current draw. I measured my current draw on a fairly large EDM show and was totally surprised at how little current I was pulling even with massive bass notes. Amplifiers these days are so efficient that we just don't use nearly as much power as we think we do. All that being said, I would definitely upgrade your power distribution, not for performance but for safety. More copper is safer, less chance of heating the jackets and melting down, etc. [/QUOTE]
