Batteries hold a charge of 12 to 13 volts and will run your amp at that voltage. Your alternator brings the voltage up to 13-14 volts and charges the battery along with backing up voltage. Problems happen when driving a amp hard and the voltage drops below 10-10.5 volts. Most new amps will go into protection. My Phoenix Gold amp is listed as Power supply operating range of 10.0 Vdc to 15.5 Vdc. The amp you listed I don't see the power range but it should be about the same. I think the newer Brutus amps will handle just above 16.volts. A second battery is always good insurance to protect from voltage drop. Hope that helps.</p></blockquote><p></p>
