question is can your amp take that?

you could do that just wire the batteries in series but i really wouldnt recommend that since I've never seen anyone do it

18v capable alt too. unless your going to run a charger, do your burp then throw the charger back on.

Keep in mind that a 6v battery should rest at like 6.5-6.9v so wiring three in series would result in a final voltage of 19.5-20.7v. Check on the actual fully charged resting voltage of the batteries your interested in and also make sure the amplifiers you plan on running can handle that. Also most organizations don't allow anything over 18v.
