Default which is which? someone explain please?

Just checking out the MTX site to see the specs of the Thunder6500D. I see these specs:

Specifications
Power 12.5 VDC
2 Ohm Load 500 w x 1
4 Ohm Load 250 w x 1

Power 14.4 VDC
2 Ohm Load 775 w x 1
4 Ohm Load 450 w x 1

Which is the right one to follow? What are the differences between these?

12.5 volts is USUALLY the amount of juice from the battery...aka when the cars turned off.

14.4 is USUALLY the amount from the alt....aka when the engine is running.

the OHM will depend solely on the sub setup.

12.5 is what you go by when competing by power classes. 14.4 is what it does when you start the car.
