I only know of one person to successfully do it. Nate Kaiser. He did it in No Wall last year. Crazy power I guess......6 K each I think.

wasn't nate only using 14 volt setup last year?

I know atleast with D2's you don't gain anything over 15.5. IMO it just makes the amp more unstable

It was 16. I was just like 2 stall down from him at Finals. I talked with him for about 20 minutes on this. I think it was a trojan type 8 volt.
