so if an amp does it rated power at 12 volts its underated,so you can put more volts to it and it'll do more power,what about amps that say input from 10 volts to 16 volts like the soundstream it doesnt give a specific volt load

amp:jl e300/4

sub amp:dd m2a

front stage:id ctx65cs

dc power 270 alt

lots of kicker 1/0

Some amps are "strictly regulated".

This means that it will achieve its rated output as long as the voltage is within the range of 11-14-4V

These amps have special circuitory to adjust the current-draw if the voltage falls or peaks. So their power is pretty much constant.

It is 'unregulated' amps that are usually underrated, since they produce more power when the voltage goes up.

Examples of amps that are usually underrated:

Rocford Fosgate, MTX, Kicker, US Amps.

Also require a little more $$$, but well worth it IMO.

Oh yes, they are expensive
