[QUOTE="hoss, post: 2109853, member: 549860"] without reading all of that i can already tell you, i have witnessed first hand what low voltage can do... and within reading the first few repolies, people have already said what i have witnessed. low input voltage leads to more input current, leads to the input side of the amp working harder to try to compensate for what the output side of the amp is demanding of it. the output side of the amplifier is demanding a certain amount of power from the input side, and when the input side is seeing less voltage, it is going to compensate by drawing more current. now since the input side of the amp is having to work way harder than it would be if the voltage was at the point it should be, it is going to heat up, become less efficient, yadda yadda yadda. if an amp has protection on it, whether it be thermal, under voltage, low impedance protection, it will shut off. if it doesent have said protection, it will keep over working itself until something finally goes internally. and like alot of electronics, it could be a chain reaction. one thing goes, leading another member to fail, leading something else to explode, and so on down the line. remember, im not speaking on behalf of what i read in a book, what i read on the internet, what someone has told me, or according to physics... im talking in the real world, that i have witnessed. i was there, the trunk of my car was shooting flames. at the time, the only flaw in my system was that my amp was drawing current down to about 7-9v. the battery and charging system was fine. the member that failed, was the amplifiers input section which overheated. no repairs were made to the output side of the board.
