Do our cars run at 14.4v or less?
I was told that most amp manufactors rate their wattage going off 14.4v, but realistically our cars run less than that.
My amp is rated at 70w x 2 @ 4 ohms, but at 14.4v
45w x 2 @ 4 ohms at 12.5v
Does this mean I will most likely only get around 45watts? Is there anything to do to raise the voltage or is that even safe?

Most any car runs at 14-14.4 Volts while running. If the car is not running you will be at 12-12.6 volts dependant on your battery.
