you cant have 14 volts at the amp? i disagree there completely. i had a volt meter right before my amp and it normally said between 13.5 and 14.4 depending what was playing. Im not trying to have the bigger stick. im just saying, i worked in car audio for a few years, and i know what ive done. it was a true 1000rms, when i did my system it was almost worth 3k and i didnt cut any corners
