We'll just let biju, the scurvy dog of the VX audio world, respond to this one.

Hey koala:
Not sure anyone's found a direct bolt on that breaks the 170+ amps, but I could be wrong.
However, if this company you've found has one - give it a whirl and report back! I'm sure lots of folks would appreciate the find.
I think at one point there was a 190amp (+/- a few amps) from a chevy that someone rigged to fit. But if you've searched, I'm sure you found that post already...
Best of luck, and keep us posted!

p.s. - 15" D9's? OMG - those are sexy. Post some picks!!!
