Yeah if you only got 100 miles before killing it, chances are most you are gonna pick up are just gonna blow too. Have one built tough enough to handle your set-up.

Either way my point remains valid. Take a it to a REPUTABLE builder, and have it built to handle your set-up.

THE PROBLEM IS ....

IT IS A TCI! TOTAL CRAP industries

I had a TCI converter lasted about 5 months. 550.00 for nothing... and they said it was out of warranty 6 months from purchase date....helll it did n't get in the car for about 2 months. few months later DEAD!

No surprise to me.
