[QUOTE="adulbrich, post: 8402325, member: 661255"] "Sufficient power" is kind of subjective. If your amp is stable down to 10v, that would be "ok" to dip to at idle, but I wouldn't want to do that. Wouldn't be fantastic on the amp to run at that voltage all the time. Above 12's should be fine for daily listening. If it gets hot and you're not clipping, but voltage drop is bad, then you need more electrical upgrades. Really can't give solid answers to every question on the electrical topic. "Overkill" is always best, because you can't damage the amp unless your system voltage is higher than the highest voltage your amp was meant to run on. [/QUOTE]
