thien211 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hi there, i saw the amp listed 17.7v, the rms also increase, in physic power and voltage is directly proportional. so, how to get '17.7v' or around that voltage? my car now is at around 14v. is there any 16v battery? what alternator recommend? running in belt. another question, i saw some of them are using 'metal chain' belt to run the alternator, so that's mean need to modify whole of the engine belt pulley?

Team Nemesis-DJ Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Not something I would recommend to someone new to the game. I have to agree ...if your close ..i can help you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.db Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Most above 14 volts amps are for competition use only...not for daily driver shit!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etaks_crew Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 You can run two alts and two batts.The 12 volt shit off one batt and the stock alt for your car and the 16 volt alt and batt for just the amp but its a hella lot of work for one amp. I would only recomend it to someone with exp. and who was gonna do comps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raytard Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 its one of those things where if you have to ask, you shouldn't do it. Stick with 12 volt for now, learn, watch the boards, do some builds, and then consider making the leap. There's only a few guys here that run a 16 volt system, and all of them are hardcore competitors.

Gotloud555 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 You probably gonna need a external alternator with regulator to adjust the voltage. I wouldn't do this until you fully understand how to do this correct because running a higher voltage can lead to damage fuses and electrical devices in your vechicle. I still reading about this electrical upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratusrt01 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 I agree, as someone who runs 18V daily, there's a lot more to it than you would think, and I wouldn't suggest it for 98% of daily drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real 16 volt set up would need over 19v to see a full charge in the battery. Kinetic's have a 12v step down built into their batteries which works fine for most needs. But an independant alt and battery set up is highly recommended , we can get you the voltage needed for a 16v set up off a normal factory or HO internally regulated alt if needed. Most daily drivers and/or the average competitors are fine on a 12v setup. You should stick with a 12v system and charge it at 15volts from a module.
