[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8751447, member: 614752"] At what voltage does your car currently charge? Say you just buy external voltage regulator (if needed) and charge up to 15V. There should be nothing that will be hurt by this. Delete lead batteries and be prepared to replace factory alternators. Using your alternator through an inverter into another inverter, into a charger just adds 3 more steps of inefficiency and over time your alternator is only working harder. Any way you do this, you are going to be asking a lot of 65A alternator. Small aternators can be bought as rebuilt from auto parts stores for <80$. Even replacing it every year isn't so much cost. I would not try to use battery isolator for high power car audio and there is really no good way to keep that system separate from everything else if you only have one alternator. [/QUOTE]
