16 volt battery just added in is bad.. theres ways to have them in 12 volt system but have to be isolated? not too sure someone else can help you out im sure //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

edit: the peak of your car is the tone with highest spl in your vehicle. to find it if you have a meter or access to one play some test tones and the one thats loudest is it? i believe that is the case.

Take a sub with a flat response in a sealed box and stick it in your car, Play test tones till the db meter is at it's highest reading. That is your cars peak. You can't use a ported box as the tuning affects the outcome.

For spl tune box 5 or 6 hertz below your cars peak freq.

Frequency drop isn't the same in every car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

It's as good a start as any and won't be far off.

you can use the 16's just for audio and use the charger to charge them, i do.

what kind of batteries?
