[QUOTE="TheBigPilferer, post: 8863551, member: 690294"] Btw, I didn't answer whether or not you'll be able to support 5k bc I can't answer the question with 100% certainty. I can say that yes, 14s is preferable and high 13s is perfectly safe. Full bridge amps do have a reputation of being less tolerant to low voltages than half bridge designs, as well as less tolerant to wiring lower than their recommended impedance. Taramps (unsure if newer ones are better) also don't like high input RCA voltage - they're rated to accept 4v in but lots of folks have had best luck feeding them 3-3.2v. Not sure which amp you're looking at purchasing, but it's something to keep in mind. [/QUOTE]
