[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8384960, member: 665412"] Wouldn't this only be for regulated amplifiers? I don't recall any information on unregulated amplifiers designed with internal circuitry that increases the output or gain when the voltage drops. I'm thinking that you'd only get less output, and the separation from clipping would remain proportionally the same. Is it possible that amplifiers clip sooner if the voltage is also low? (i.e. a 14.4v amplifier system gain is set to produce 200w and clips at 220w but a 12v input into the exact same system will output 170w but clips right at 170w). [/QUOTE]
