I have a 2 pill leaner that does 500 watts. how big of a amp would be safe to run this I know it will work in my truck but I'm putting it in the house because I'm going to use it to drive a bigger amp. so what the rule how many amps per 100 watts is what I really need to know I guess.

You must have the same kind of meter this CB Shop over by the house has... His meter shows Cobra 19's doing 60w's after he tunes them!

Is that Big Earl down at Lefty's Electronics & Bait Shop? The one down by the river? I had him install new SWR's in my coax last week, it's really blowin' smoke now. :icon_e_wink:

If they're built right they will do 500. It's an extremely dirty 500 and the pills will eventually fail. I've pushed 2 pills to double that on 20 volts...used to clobber a local guys 6 pill with it. I don't work on people's junk or make money from this hobby, so I have no use for a rigged watt meter.

Your right on the volting...Stick 20v's in a 2 pill with original Toshiba 2879's and it will dance at 500+ watts...least for a little while.

Stick 20v's in one with DEI 2879's tho, and watch the smoke! :mrgreen:
