wmrcs Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 Can I run 16v in my 1990 Cherokee daily? If not what would I need to change or upgrade if I could possibly run it? E34 540iT/6
BassJunkie Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 I personally wouldn't run 16v daily in a vehicle of that age. Lose your a/c and pick up a second externally regulated alternator to charge 16v batteries. 1986 C20 Suburban 9 American Bass XFL 15's B2 M1MKII 14v XS Power Batteries Maxwell Caps Acoustical energy is free. Electrical energy is not you havent lived until you've hit a screw with a router.

I was thinking I could add a second bat and wire it in series and would that give me 16v or am I a noob? haha. And yea losing my A/C for an alt sounds grand. E34 540iT/6
BassJunkie Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 Why do you need to charge at 16v???

wmrcs Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Posted March 4, 2012 It's not that I need to, it's just that I wanted to. But now I'm not going to because I checked the forum and it obviously doesn't sound like a good idea! E34 540iT/6

CJ18 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 Just stick with 12v. For 99% of the audio world, 12v is perfectly fine.
