brewer_brewer Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 yeah my bad. i meant that is what they will float at. you'll need 18+ for that REFS http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/forum/itrader.php?u=2026 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/44535-official-brewer-brewer-feedback/page__p__625998__hl__brewer__fromsearch__1entry625998 "you're not allowing natural selection to work, you're like the guy that invented the seatbelt"
doubleD Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Posted April 19, 2009 this is whats going on,, a local stereo shop is putting in two 18 volt batts to provide juice to my sub amp only... i will have an extra 240 amp alt just for those batts..they will have nothing to do with the vehicale electrical system... the thing is they say it will work with a 12 volt alt.
brewer_brewer Posted April 19, 2009 Report Posted April 19, 2009 no way. maybe if the extra 240 amp is an 18 volt alternator and the other is a 12 volt to run your car.

brewer_brewer Posted April 19, 2009 Report Posted April 19, 2009 what kind of amp do you have? REFS http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/forum/itrader.php?u=2026 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/44535-official-brewer-brewer-feedback/page__p__625998__hl__brewer__fromsearch__1entry625998 "you're not allowing natural selection to work, you're like the guy that invented the seatbelt"
doubleD Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Posted April 19, 2009 i have a treo cxt 4.1,,, i have a seperate 12 volt alt for car,,, but a ohio gen alt for the subs, its a 12 volt also,, but its not seeing any other load other than the amp and batts
brewer_brewer Posted April 19, 2009 Report Posted April 19, 2009 how many batts do you have for the amp? if you run an 18 volt system and have alternators charging up to 20 volts you will fry that amp. it only has 18 volt input. you could do a 16 volt system and then charge your batts to 18 volts.

brewer_brewer Posted April 19, 2009 Report Posted April 19, 2009 the extra 4 volts would give you alot more power. what subs are you running.

Boon Posted April 19, 2009 Report Posted April 19, 2009 I am using enersys powersafe batteries throughout (6V cells & 2V cells) Enersys make great batteries, I use them in my Street SPL car (Datasafe High discharge models) They like a high voltage though, I charge mine at 15.3v trickle and 17v boost charge... 10.x volts fo' life!
doubleD Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Posted April 19, 2009 one sub amp,,, two v-max 18 volt batts ,,, and ohio gen 240 amp alt... subs are four treo ssx 18"
brewer_brewer Posted April 19, 2009 Report Posted April 19, 2009 yeah you could use the extra power that you would get from 18 volts. you don't even have the power that two of those need right now.
