taramps, banda, stetsom.... Brazillians have been doing 12 volt rated amps for ages bud. They dont do high voltage stuff like in america and they get louder than us.

I thought I was doomed to just using jl audio amps. I was gonna buy 2 1200/1s and for the same price I can get a 5 or 6k amp. This reopens up the gear I can use. Is there a better between the brands?

Any decent car amplifier will operate at 12V or less. The manual should have a line under specifications that shows the input voltage range before protection comes on.

That's what I was thinking. 12-13 should be fine for about anything. The cheaper amps with less regulation will make quite a bit less power though.

Almost all amps work from 9v and up...

DD and the scv line are strong on lower voltages. The older dd's used to be rated at 11.9v

Buddy of mine told me Ampere audio rates 12 volts and he found me a 3800 for 500. Think I'm gonna bite the bullet
