I know the sax-100.4 can handle 10-16v but what about a lil above that. lets say from 17-18v. Im trying to run my whole system all on 16v eliminating the extra 1/0 wire running from under the hood and adding to the 16v charging system. thanx in advance

 
just did a lil research common sense and on the saz-3000d. it says Operating Voltage : DC 10V~18V and on the 100.4 it say Operating Voltage : DC 10V~16V. so im assuming my answer is a no

you could throw a step-down regulator in there, but come off the 12v tap would be cheaper. I'm jealous of the 100.4. The manual says 4ga, so that's not that bad $$ to run unless you're going back to a d-block of 12v gear via 1/0.

HarrisonLabs makes a gadget, powermaster, jacobs accuvolt(used), and turbostart all have step-downs.

i have a wire off the 12v already but i was trying to eliminate it and just run off the batteries in the back(16v)

Correct, it will not like 17-18 volts.
You can add a Kinetik Tri-Post battery and run it off the 12v post - thats one easy way to do it.
thanx! thats what i was worried about and i already have some 8400 16v.
