Audio folks

k… now I agree with both of you…

I guess overpowering… is bad, but stressing the amp is just as bad right?

I was thinking back to my Pyle days… where I had a 1200watt amp (MAX @ 14volts) and 2 400rms sony subs… the amp got cooked… probably cause it was pyle… and probably cause it was like 200 watts RMS @ 12volts.

What about the 12v vs 14v argument? Doesn’t the alt in the car charge @ 14volts…

or is it cause the power feed is coming from a 12v battery and not the 14v alt?
