Emmet Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Is 16v electrical out of the question? You could do some 14v batteries. i think it would be possible for me to do a 16v setup, considering my vehicle is an 86 so i dont have all the electrical components as a new car would have 16v charges at 18 by the way, just to note. Not 16v batteries. 16v electrical - 14v batteries charging at 16 I get what you meant now. Just thought it might confuse him. That'd still be called a 14v system.

I'm trackin the whole 16v system.14v batteries will charge at 16v 16v batteries charge at 18v I think I just worded it wrong haha Thanks guys Quote BHE Wall Build TEAM DC Audio TEAM XS POWER1986 Monte Carlo KMC Nova's 20"4 DC XL's W/ PSI Recones2 DC 5k'sPioneer PRS 8010 Audio Technix 6 XS Power D3100's 1 XS Power D3400 Mechman 220a Alternator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfreake Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 What makes the difference between a 12v system and a 14 or 16v system? Just the type of batteries? Or do you have to change something with the electrical too Quote Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

Swaggasaur Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 What makes the difference between a 12v system and a 14 or 16v system? Just the type of batteries? Or do you have to change something with the electrical too your alternator has to be able to charge at that voltage. i have a VCM which allows me to charge from 12v to about 20v. mechman makes a AVBM? i think thats what it is. but it does the same thing. sooo if i want to have a 16v system. i need to get 14v batteries and have my alternator charge at 16v hope that answered your question!

bassfreake Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Is there like a switch to make the alternator charge at 16? Lol or does it just do it automatically Quote Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

2loudisjustright Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I'm running a single alternator as well with a d1200 under the hood and 3 d3100s In back and its not enough. Getting ready to go to 5 d3100s How many amps is your alternator? 270 amp Quote 2000 zx2: Rebuild with 8 12s on a 10k underway!!

Swaggasaur Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Is there like a switch to make the alternator charge at 16? Lol or does it just do it automatically this is the one i have this is mechman's with the xs power, you hold down the - and + and itll say adj then you either increase or decrease voltage from there then hit - + again to lock it at that voltage with mechmans AVBM you use a screw driver to adjust your voltage, same thing. just the vcm has a screen pretty much Quote BHE Wall Build TEAM DC Audio TEAM XS POWER1986 Monte Carlo KMC Nova's 20"4 DC XL's W/ PSI Recones2 DC 5k'sPioneer PRS 8010 Audio Technix 6 XS Power D3100's 1 XS Power D3400 Mechman 220a Alternator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfreake Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 oh ok so it's an extra piece that you attach that regulates that stuff Quote Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

Hunters21w Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Yes sir.^^ I'd compare the 9k to my Crossfire 8k. You could get away with 3 3100s and a nice underhood batt such as a 3400 and obviously a HO alt. Anything above that can only help. Good luck.
