[QUOTE="yacob.naif, post: 2256244, member: 565696"] that depends. that PG actually might have a regulated power supply, which means it will be able to make just as much power regardless of whether your voltage drops, and you begin to supply it with battery voltage. An unregulated amp will cut out or clip, but it'd be hard for me to tell you if you would have a problem, since different amps react differently to voltage drops. Some can tolerate drops down to 11v and below, and some get fussy even in the low 12v range. The best idea of all, usually, is not to buy an amp you can't support, or make sure you turn the gain down to where you're not having too much voltage fluctutaion. Voltage drops can actually harm the amp. [/QUOTE]
