JL amps have a regulated power supply, they will have the same output at 14.4 as they will at 11 volts. max power will usually mean 14.4 and the lowest possible impedance the amp will be stable at. but some over rated amps can't even produce their "rated output" period.(prob can, right before they catch fire though, lol) |
