You mean that some of them DON'T come with shrouds? Hmmm...wonder how you
mount an electric fan to the radiator without a case/shroud. ;)
Uhhh...11.8 amps, there's high power stereos that pull more.

Never the less, I wouldn't buy it. My Hayden 16" has been running without
problems for the last 6 months. Although, one of these days i'll get
around to installing the Flex-A-Lite #210 Dual 12" as a replacement.
