03TahoeXXX Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Hey another quick ? about this. is it safe to run the alt, amp, and batts at 16v for a daily system? or would it all be more reliable on a 14v or 12v system since its not for competion use at all. just daily ground pounder. just trying to consider all possibilaties before i drop the cash on new batterys.

CJ18 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I am having great success with running 14v, charging at 16.8v daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03TahoeXXX Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Ok. just didnt know if everything would last as long. Like if runing the alt on 16 volt system is to much stress on it compared to 14v or 12v daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 That I dont know. My amps have definitely liked the higher voltages, but I have never messed with anything over 16.8v. 16v batteries will charge at 17.5v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckvr4 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 14v/16v systems are fine for daily as long as you have 2 charging systems imho. I charge my d1600s @ 18v, wish i could charge higher but my 9ks dont like anything above 18.1 Quote 05 f150 4 18'' DC lvl6 2 DC AUDIO 9.0ks 161.3 @ 44HZ build log here96 tahoe http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/160522-8-18xls2-dc-100k4th-order/page-9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 14v/16v systems are fine for daily as long as you have 2 charging systems imho. I charge my d1600s @ 18v, wish i could charge higher but my 9ks dont like anything above 18.1 This right here^^^^ On 16v I would charge no higher than 17.9v to run the 5k. This is why for a daily I would go with 14v that charges at 16.8v and with the singer 350a unit you have, you should have little to no voltage drop. I would expect the 5k to put out 6500w plus at 16.8v and 1 ohm reactive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

im45pl Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) sorry to re hash this, but to save me starting a new topic providing my charging system is up to it the 5.0k will run .5 ohm load with no worries on a daily basis? ive got two dc xl 18's that are dual 2 ohm and wanted to use the 5.0k but before i buy just wanted to check this issue... cheers i was thinking two of these per amp with a 300 amp alt would that be sufficient? or is a battery aimed at car audio more suitable eg xs power, kinetic etc http://aussiebatteriessolar.com.au/batteries/170ah-8v-deep-cycle-golf-cart-battery/ Edited April 15, 2012 by im45pl Quote TEAM DC AUSTRALIA My_Build_Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 With proper electrical it can be done but it will void your warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
