yuh but arent they outa bizz?

i thought you werent suppose to series batteries? so if i do that could i just fuse off all the other electronics at hte battery cept hte amps?

You would have to have a separate 17V charging system in your vehicle...completely separate from your stock charging system (alternator)

3600W/2 ohm RMS power at 14.4V

4000W/2 ohm RMS power at 17.0V

What I'm finding particularly unimpressive is a mere 400 watt gain with the extra 2.6vdc input. At those power levels is there going to be any real audible difference with the 400w addition? It's not like we're talking the difference between 300 and 700 watts.

It's not terribly difficult to achieve 14.4v out of your charging system. I cannot see the trouble it would take to feed that amp a full 17v being worth the (what I see as) a minimal output increase.

As i said earlier and others will probably agree, that the 3600@14.4 v isn't going to ever happen you'll see close to 2800ish. The 4000@ 17v will happen at a steady 17v.

14.4v isn't hard to achieve with 3kw of power?? To keep it at 14.4v it can get pretty hard especially with that amp seeing as it draws around 350amps at that ohm load.

Ok, let's assume for the sake of argument that your given figures are more along the lines of real world output. A 1200 watt difference would certainly be noticeable, I'll grant.

To the other point I'll simply say that regardless of the amperage draw 14.4v would be a heckuva lot easier to realize than 17v, I would think.

You aren't suppose to series the batteries because that would then increase the voltage of the system //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Nothing inherently wrong with wiring batteries in series.....except for the fact you'd fry all of the electronics in the car if you tried to run your car off of the increased voltage.

so if i do that could i just fuse off all the other electronics at hte battery cept hte amps?

No...you simply CAN NOT run your car's electronics off of the higher voltage system. Fuses protect against current; not voltage. As someone earlier said; you'd have to run the higher voltage system completely separate from your car's electronics. I.E. it can not be connected to your alternator, current battery, computer, guages, headunit, etc etc. Only to the amps.

hence why it's typically a bigger ***** than it's worth?

lol you can run it without being seperate just need basic electrical skill to figure out how to drop the voltage to the car stuff...and it isnt that hard really lol

When I meant series-ing the batteries, its for a seperate system

DO NOT do it with your batteries hooked up to your stock electrical system

It is worth it for SPL cars however. The gain can be a few dbs or more.

ohh ohh, i know how to do it with 1 battery !

*cough* turbostart 3post `12/16V battery *cough*

yes, im 3 days to late

better get the turbo starts while you can lol

Yes, thats the one
