what are you asking.......why about

why the need for 700amps, a solox, etc, etc?No offence, but if a person owns a solox, wants to push it to the limit and has to ask people in forums about how to do it, I say that person should get something else. If you have to ask, don't do it.

i never asked how too push it.... i just asked what to do about the current draw i figured someone could help me out with this problem , but i guess not!!!!!
