Sorry to say but the amp pictured is a 16v version. All that means is it's designed to run from 10v-16v. The 12v version has 8 extra large capacitors and was designed for competition spl use for more power under 14v. But either way this is a great amp at a great price. I'll be selling my two 16v versions for the same price once you sell yours. Good luck with sale.
12 volt huh, just bringing this topic back up to hopefully get my money back.
