im not positive about this, but 12.9 volts is what you get when your car is just idleing, and 14.4 volts is what you get when your driving because the alternator is running faster and produces more power when you drive.

it means that the amp is underrated for comp purposes. It will put out more power at 14.4 then at 12.9. It allows you to be in the 400 watt class when at two ohms that amp is prob putting out 1000 watts or better.
