Power requirements for 4 pill Dave Made

[Matt Dillon]

Will a 35 amp power supply run a Dave Made M400, (4 pill) low drive amp?

IMO no you'd need a bit more overhead. An amp like that could draw nearly 35A as a matter of course..

Eagle 1911, You were right. It takes some amps to run that unit. I may as well offer somebody a super whamadine deal on it. I don't want to run it mobile and I don't want to put out the money for a bigger power supply. Thanks for your help.

M400 IS A 1 DRIVEN 4 SO THATS 5 . MY 50AMP ASTRON WORKS GREAT WITH MY M400. BUT I DO LOVE MY PLUG IN ELKINS , THEM GREY BOXES MADE RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD FROM ME SO I GUESS THATS WHY I HAVE 7 OF THEM AND LOOKING FOR MORE LOL

Either of those Davemades can draw upwards of 80-100 amps max depending on how you drive them. A 70 amp supply would be minimum and that would be watching how hard you drive it.
