Can anyone tell me the minimum and maximum voltage that can be applied to the Ribbon LED strips (Waterproof if that matters). I would imagine they would be good to 15 volts?

They are designed for 12 volt.
I would not go past 14 volts. I'm sure they would work at around 15 maybe even 16 but your going to damage the components and they will not last as long and would void the warranty.
while a car peaks around 14.5 it is not good to keep them constantly at this voltage
as for them working at 6 volts i'm sure you see that they are not very bright.

To maximize brightness as well as long lasting quality of the product you will want to use them in a 12 volt environment
