[QUOTE="bubbagumper6, post: 6998688, member: 567719"] Don't buy that. If you want to monitor the voltage of your system, your going to want to monitor what the voltage is AT YOUR AMPLIFIERS, because that's where it matters most. Adding batteries in parallel does not raise voltage. 12V batteries are charged by alternators running usually in the range of 14-14.5V. Like the others said, adding batteries will help your voltage stay above the batteries resting voltage. If you wanted to run a higher voltage system (16 or 18V) then you would need a different alternator with an external regulator so you would basically have two separate electrical systems in your car. The standard 12V (14V charging) to feed the car's electronics, then your higher 16/18V system and batteries to feed your car audio system. It sounds to me as if you have no idea how any of this works so I would suggest if you want to run a higher voltage system you do a lot of reading first. [/QUOTE]
