[QUOTE="thch, post: 2597143, member: 562032"] Regulated amps normally refer to the power supply. the prime example is JL RIPS (regulated intelligent power supply). the "regulation" is nothing new, and means that the power supply will boost 11-15V up to some amount, and that this voltage will not change when the battery voltage changes, or the load has a transient. The "Intelligent" part is what you are refering to. From my best guess, the power supply senses what is attached, and tells the power supply what voltage it needs to regulate to in order to work best for the speaker's attached. the difference is that MANY amplifiers have regulated PSU's, but very few have intelligent PSU's. Now the real question is how far the regulation extends to, or how its even implemented. I would expect some power output from half power to full power would be the answer. eg, maybe the JL amp will produce full power @6ohm as well, but this was left off as some 6ohm speakers might be detected closer to 8ohm after tolerances.
