Kranny Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 18V is my max out put on my amp if i am crazy bc it sound like i am so i will add a battery and hope for the best okay. first off, you need a new alternator and an external regulator in order for you to get an 18v system, which would make you charge at around 21v. secondly, you need a step down module so you dont fry every single fucking piece of electronics in your car, like the ecu, and headlights, and heater, and defroster, dash cluster, etc. thirdly, you need 18v batteries, which are very hard to come by, so people usually wire a bunch of 9v batteries (not the kind you can buy at walgreens) together to achieve 18v. fourthly, you need to stop being a damn moron.

deeje Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) If you know witchcraft. You might could pull it off. But really seriously op 200? Haha. That's not even enough for 1 battery. You might be able to buy a step down module for it. That's it tho. My advice sell the caps to some idiot and the redtop. That plus the 200 you should be able to get a d3100 and maybe 1 smaller one. So less voltage drop.

SnowDrifter Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Ok... 1. You need a battery, $$$ 2. You need increase your voltage by getting a VCM or depending on how the car is, you might be able to make something up that will increase the voltage. I won't tell you how to do that because if you do it wrong, your alt will go full power sending 20v+ to everything in the car toasting all of your electronics. $$$ 3. You need a step-down converter since the stock electronics can't handle 18v. $$$ You see where I'm going with this? It costs a chunk of change to do. 18v isn't something you can just throw together on a budget to try and get more power from the amp. Especially not on a daily driver where if a low quality part fails, you are now sore outta luck because your car is no longer driveable Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamHT Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 So I was hoping u guys could help I have about $200 bucks and I want to try and get as close to 18v Words are a wondrous thing. Just take the information with a grain of salt. If you want to better your electrical because youre having voltage drop do the big 3 and buy whatever audio battery you can with the money leftover.

deeje Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 You don't need an idolater either. Did you not read my post? Sell your optima and your caps and get the biggest xs power you can fit under the hood and another small one for the trunk if you can afford it.

SnowDrifter Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 ok so no caps optima yellow top i can got one for $160.00 what do you think about a battery isolater what does it do You don't need it. It essentially disconnects the batteries from eachother when the car is off. Get the same batteries all around and you are fine. An isolater is just an added expense that you will see no use from unless you play with your car off at shows until the batteries are dead - which I wouldn't suggest doing anyway.
