CarbonCone Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I only do burps don't do any bass racing so would a high output alt help me in anyway? or would getting a xs power charger and running 16volt battery in the back be a better idea or anything else out there that would help get more DB. Running Standard Alt D3100 2x 12" atmoic apx 2x 3000d E-Audio amps Dual Box 6" Port. Doing 151db. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassMunky Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 yes get extra battery man your volts must be dropping like crazy. What car is this from anyway?

vettedude102 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) I think get the alt. The batteries help it play for longer periods of time. You already have the 3100 so it's probably a strain on that alt if you put more batteries. Just my .02.

I dont mean to be rude but i think your wrong unless the website is wrong. i found this on http://www.kinetikpower.com/2009/faq.asp I qoute "I heard that adding more batteries to my car will lower the voltage and is harder on my alternator, is this true? Adding multiple Kinetik Power Cells to a vehicle will not add extra load on your alternator or lower you voltage in your car like adding ‘wet cell’ batteries will. Due to the low ESR and high voltage of Kinetik Power Cells, your voltage will actually increase. Kinetik Power Cells also charge more efficiently and quickly than a standard ‘wet cell’ battery reducing the stress on your alternator."
