[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8632992, member: 611804"] Generally speaking the higher the voltage within the operating range of the amp the higher the power output of the amp. Voltage drop shouldn't cause clipping but if the voltage drops and you crank the volume to try and fix the difference in volume you can easily try and ask the amp to create more power than it can make and thus it may clip the signal. That's why it is preferred to have more amp than you need the extra headroom allows more clean power to be available even when voltage drops. As far as voltage drop in general, you will always have voltage drop at least to battery float voltage unless you have enough alt to fully supply the amp with current at 14.4v and even then you may still hit dimming lights if you have a weak headlight curcuit [/QUOTE]
