Mha Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 So I was looking for a battery. I was thinking kinetik 3800 that way I dont need a lot of small ones. While look at kinetik and xs power I see some say 12v 14v and 16v. Whats this mean? OEM stock on a car is 12 volts right? But I have seen a lot if people on youtube and videos and most run 14v. How do I make the change from 12 to 14? And should I? Im looking to power a 5k amp in the future anyways. Dont have the alt yet, taking baby steps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont have the alt yet, taking baby steps start with a 12v system, 12v and up take a lot of work, and a step down module, which you would have to redo a lot of your car with, overall just do 12v Quote 2006 Mazda3 Hatchback Black 5 Spd ManualPioneer 4300DVD2 Sundown SA-12 (34hz Tune, 3.22 cubes, 14.5 inches per cube, Triple Baffle)Kicker 10ZX2500.1 (2845 RMS) Sub AmpKicker 11ZX650.4 (705 RMS) Mid Amp -- (3 Amps)Kicker KQ3 Active CrossoverKicker KQ30 EqualizerKicker 09QS60.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones)Kicker 09QS65.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones) - (3 Sets)2/0 Gauge Electron Beam Technologies (3 Runs, 2 +, 1 -) 1/0 Gauge KNU Kollasal Flex (1 Run for -) 300 Ft Kicker X-Series 16 Gauge Speaker WireXS Power D3400 (Rear)XS Power D3100 (Front)Singer Externally Regulated Alternator (Being Built)+ The Love for Car Audio and BASS <3UBL Build Log <------- Click Here-------> Normal Build Log (For Comments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also 16 volts is bad to run on a daily vehicle charging 16 isnt that bad running a 16v system on the other hand (charging 18v) is hell for a cars elec system to the OP just run 12v and charge at 14 14v and 16v setups are mainly for serious competitors Quote Btw that was the first person.
