have a 6 volt car with a 12 volt converter that supplies 2 amps. Would this jack draw more than 2 amps ?

Short ans. NO The literature says it draws 18 amps at 12v. That works out to just over 200 watts or less than power to supply a 300 watt light bulb. The 2 amps is way to small a capacity

Not too sure what amps it draws but I think it would be more than 2 amps when under load Cheers Al.

This was a gift-he was a car guy and all I know is that he said it was greatest tool he had ever gotten!

This unit only draws 50 watts, half an amp. A 100 watt inverter plugged into your cars 12V plug is more than you'll need to run this unit in a car.

I think so,but it depends on the ohms.If you're using 1 cab it has to be 4 ohms not 8,but check that.If you run 1 cab the amp runs at 4 ohms,if you run 2 cabs it runs at 8.

Can use this one to reduce the speed of a 12 volt 5 amp blower, to 6 or less? thanks

I would go to blue sea's tech department and ask them. Since it is for a 48 volt inverter i would assume the amp draw won't be to high and it should be OK but if there was some kind of short it could quickly overload the system and cause a fire/damage best to check with the manufacture on this one

I don't know for sure .but I puzzled why your trailer runs off 2_6 volts. But as far as 12 volt standard it works great highly recommend this product.

Yes. They have converters for 48 volt and 36 volt systems so be sure to order the right one. They will convert the higher voltage down to 12 volts at 10 amps maximum, perfect for headlights and maybe a radio etc...

The instructions say that it draws 18 watts. So a 12V 2 amp (or higher amp rating) power supply would run it.

I plugged this into a 12V (3-cell LiPo) battery and measured current draw. It was taking 75Watts at 11.7Volts, so about 6.4Amps. In a running car the air pump will draw slightly more current, but not enough to overwhelm your charging system. If you have a smaller engine just turn off the headlights, it'll be fine.

Not sure, mine is in the trunk so I never have paid much attention. As small as the amp is I wouldn't think it would be running out of power unless you are running tiny power and ground wire. 8 gauge would be plenty.

I don't know how many amps it is pulling, but I have not blown a fuse in my car - there is a fuse inside of the connector and that should blow before a fuse in your vehicle does.

It simply states it will work at a lower Amp like 2 amp. The higher the amp, I use a 12vdc @ 5 amps, the less distortion. I power my back TV speakers with this unit. So far so good. For about 6 months now. Do not exceed the max 6 amps.

While it supplies 12 volts what matters most is the amps required by your stereo and all (if any) accessories. The charger I have states 5 amps. The radio should list the power draw on its spec sheet. If its minimal you may get lucky but considering it looks like you want to run the radio near a household outlet there are better options that will do what your looking for. You could even consider using an old computer power supply and tap off the 12 volt line. Good luck.

The supply brick says 0.35 max (amps, presumably). It only puts out 3 A at 5 V, so the actual draw is probably closer to 0.2 A.

2.5 amp is a little low I do not know how much your car amp ask for. I usualy like that the power supply is used at 50 to 75% max of the capacity. So about 1.8 to 1.9 amps in this case

I never tried at 6v. Was still loud at 9v. Make sure you have enough mA supply to power this siren. I had to add another 12vdc power supply and relay to use this siren on my simon xt. Your 6v system would trigger the relay to send 12vdc from the new power supply. Good instructions are online.

This is a voltage converter, not amperage. To get more amperage you need a larger power source.
