http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=363814 ill hook you up with a good price if you need 16v batts

See I don't like to buy from the classifieds... as of right now, I might not need 16V batteries, its just an option I'm considering.. and I'm trying to map it out if I go that route. I don't want to go buy a bunch of 16V batteries and then end up not going that route, then, I have a bunch of 16V batteries kicking around.

I had originally planned on buying 12V Powermaster D3100s.. I was gunna buy 3 or 4. Cheapest shipping I could get was around a grand, through UPS.
No thanks.

I may be able to get some 8v batteries that are deep cycle, seen some decent sized ones, 30aH, (10 hour rate, not sure what that means, still learning batteries) and theres some 180aH batteries that are 8V. so if you get two 180aH batteries, and wirer them in series, you have 16V but ~360aH capacity?

If I can't get alts to do 16V without killing my budget, I'll just run 12V.

Incriminator has some nicely priced Powermaster D3100's in the classifieds section. I just bought one from him myself. http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=369881&highlight=powermaster+d3100

Going to see if I can get some yellowtops from Costco here in edmonton tomorrow before we drive back home.

I have chatted with Incriminator on SSA when I used to frequent that site... they'd ship me the batts no problem.
