[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1253909, member: 555320"] Since they compete in Meca, which bases their classes partially off of the power wire's fuse rating, one thing the higher voltage allows them to do is get the same power output with less current being pulled from the electrical system. Volts * Amps = Watts. Increase volts, you can use less amps (and hence, use a smaller fuse) for the same wattage. Also, in unregulated amplifiers using a higher voltage allows for more power out of the amplifier. Not really something necessary for a daily driver. Mainly for competition setups only. [/QUOTE]
