Does having more batteries up the volts?


Recommended Posts

Ok i see... 2 alternators is absolutely needed? even with a 270 amp alternator? Im clearly still learning about all this stuff so any help is great.

Unless your amp REQURIES a 16v setup just keep your 270 amp alternator and run it at a healthy constant 14.4.

Current Systems:

2011 BMW 335i

Hertz HDP1

DC LVL3 12" Full Carbon Fiber

2002 Acura Tl
Kenwood DNX9980HD
2 DCLVL4 12" Subs with LVL5 Parts D.7 Coils
DC 3.5k
Hertz HSK-165 up front HCX-165 Rear
Hertz HDP4 Amp
DC Power Engineering 260 Amp Alt
Big 3 and amp powered with KNU 1/0
XS Power D2400 Up Front

i pulled out my dick in class many of times and had it shown. get over it bitch...stupid open legged hairy beavered bitch...

going over rms = smaller box, under rms = bigger box...

Low voltage doesn't blow amps. That's a myth.

A router that does the sub holes makes rounded edges also?

No, 2 alts aren't needed. You could always use stepdown modules of you only decide to use one alternator.

I would prefer the 2nd alt though, just incase the stepdown fails.

No, it doesn't increase volts..it helps maintain the voltage though. Voltage Regulators increase voltage

but doesnt he need a 16 volt battery also? even with the regulator?

He'd need a 14v battery, and a 16v alternator in addition to his stock alternator. Stock would charge everything in the car, second would charge a 14v battery bank at 16v then to his amplifier.

Not on a 14 volt system you wouldn't, just run it like normal, you don't need to split it up like that.

Oh no....Please make your way around the forums and read a lot and learn before you go attempting 2 BTL's of 7k if you don't know about batteries. Also 12v batteries charge at 14v, 14v batteries charge at 16v, 16v batteries charge at 18+ volts.

soo...

whould do any harm to replace 12V batters for a 14V battery??

Yes because your alternator would not charge them and would slowly kill them.

yeah it doesnt but @ 16volts it will give the speakers everything that needs. i guess that can just be something that comes later on.

ok ok i got it now. forgot the 14V battery charged at 16V. and yes you will need at least 2 alternator, but thats if you wanna run you system at 16 volts for your amplifier. the stock alt will run your cars electrical. if you ran you 16 volt alt on your cars electrical it will most likly burn up. and since you have a nice alt, mabey just get a couple big 12 volt batts for the back. itll be chaper but wont get your maxx wattage out of your amp.

didnt xs batteries do a vid on youtube where they just put a 14volt battery in and used a adjustable voltage reg?

Yes, but not all cars' stock electrical accessories will like 16+ volts daily.

off topic...

would a 160amp stock alternator be enough for 1200wRMS??
