[QUOTE="emilimo701, post: 7777675, member: 622834"] I'd like a little clarification on amplifier wattage ratings. I see things like "10000 watts RMS @ 13.8v, 15000 watts RMS @ 14.4v" and wonder... don't the amps have voltage regulators? Are these ratings meant to imply that the output signal gets louder as voltage increases? Since the system voltage tends to vary, wouldn't you not want this type of behavior in order for music to stay at a constant relative volume? [/QUOTE]
