Hunters21w Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I don't go below 12.0 ever. It's harmful for all components in your vehicle, including your amp. 06 Police TahoeHU- Pioneer 80prsAmp- Crossfire 8kSub- 4 15" Crossfire xs v2sWire- 1/0 Knu/AudiotechnixAlt- 3 Mechman SMD 340sBatts- 6 XS Power 3100s, 2400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I don't go below 12.0 ever. It's harmful for all components in your vehicle, including your amp. But why is it harmful? I don't think I've ever seen an amp blow where the cause can be directly linked to low voltage. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters21w Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Low voltage causes components to heat up, and short. Amps blow all the time directly from low voltage. I may be mistaken but I believe the power supply on the amp is one of the first to go from low voltage? 06 Police TahoeHU- Pioneer 80prsAmp- Crossfire 8kSub- 4 15" Crossfire xs v2sWire- 1/0 Knu/AudiotechnixAlt- 3 Mechman SMD 340sBatts- 6 XS Power 3100s, 2400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be mistaken but I believe the power supply on the amp is one of the first to go from low voltage? Taking it a step further: what causes the components to heat up? Why would low voltage create heat? Especially in your typical amp with an un-regulated power supply, where it would be drawing less current too ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters21w Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I wish I knew the technical answers to your questions. I would contact dbr or any amplifier repair facility for a correct answer lol. 06 Police TahoeHU- Pioneer 80prsAmp- Crossfire 8kSub- 4 15" Crossfire xs v2sWire- 1/0 Knu/AudiotechnixAlt- 3 Mechman SMD 340sBatts- 6 XS Power 3100s, 2400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would contact dbr or any amplifier repair facility for a correct answer lol. I wish I knew too. Everyone I've ever talked to can say it is, but can't say why. And that's what I've always been chasing after hahaha Done with the thread jack.

moh.vze.com Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I've always wondered about this too. Never been able to find a good explanation as to why it is harmful, but it seems like 12.4v is what everyone says That's pretty much the number I try to stay above. It only goes that low when my car is not in motion with the Singer Alternator. As long as my car is in motion the voltage is pretty much at 13.6-14V DC Audio - Singer Alternators - Knukonceptz - XS Power - Hybrid Audio - Rockford Fosgate - Second Skin Audio - SMD - Sundown Audio - Elemental Designs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
