[QUOTE="Fishchris, post: 8747362, member: 683065"] I don't know much about high voltage stuff either. I just feel like if this guy actually did it, then it must be doable :) Oh hey, I just saw a thing about the new all electric Porsche SUV, and it uses an 800 volt battery ! Pretty sure even that kind of battery could power a 240 volt car audio amplifier though. Either way, I think one would need to use transformers and converters ? But I'm the first to admit, Im completely ignorant about this stuff.... Oh but hey, I don't think getting 400 volts reduced to 12 volts, for the 12 volt side of your system should be that difficult ? They do it in every hybrid car on the market. My Prius has a 350 volt battery, no alternator, just a converter, and I love how solid the 12 volt side is for my modest little 900 wt, 5 ch amp :) I don't have a voltage gage on it, but I don't think it drops "at all" from 14.5 volts, stereo on or not.... But now Im curious. Need to check this... [/QUOTE]
