[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 8832620, member: 587645"] Rough numbers here, but the math is simple. Double the power is a 3db increase. So with 12v instead of 14.4 you are probably leaving between 10 and 30 percent power on the table. If you are expecting 1000w you may only be getting 700-900w. That's really not a huge difference when you consider music is dynamic not sine wave. Matt Edit, your amps may have birth sheets that would telk you power output at 12 and 14v. [/QUOTE]
