How to read alpine amp specs?

The title pretty much explains it all. The specs section of the manual gives three different RMS power ratings. Two RMS power ratings are at 12V (20Hz-200Hz and 20Hz-20KHz) and the last is at 14.4V . Which rating is the correct application for our car...I would hate to blow out my expensive new speakers because I can't understnad the maunal.

Thanks in advance,

Brian C.

the rating in the middle.. most cars will never produce 14.4 volts. 12vlt rating is if the cars off and your runningg off the battery. Most cars generally operate between 13.2 and 13.8 volts. depending what accessories your running
