[QUOTE="i2ain2thunder, post: 7391129, member: 631331"] Yeah seriously though I'm just being an A$$ don't do that, your alternator cannot operate properly without a battery and will not be able to regulate voltage well, might very well spike your voltage so high it damages all your equipment. Battery does like half the work bro, when the alternator is in the off phase for regulation the battery is where your system gets it's power. (and your alternator will be in the off stage a lot.) As far as I know all the modern alternators do not have different settings they regulate voltage via being full on and full off and make these calculations several times a second to keep an average +-1 14volts. They don't regulate unless their is a battery hooked up and may spike the volts enough to damage equipment, also the battery that is being used in the OFF cycle of an alternator can really make a difference in a sound system, just saying.
