You're correct of course.

However it's currently only a few top end cars, BMW and the like with 
36v systems I believe fir their HID lighting circuits etc.

I think it will be quite some years until HV auto electrical work their 
way down to the entry level car market.

For this reason I think there's still a future for the 14v HF amp!

Last time I visited your site I could not see anything on your above 
amp's.

Any pictures anywhere on the web?
