How well will it charge the 14 volt battery and while bumping down the road ? A 14v battery will require higher charging voltage. I believe XS recommends 16.8. So no if your alternator charges in the 14s it will not charge the battery correctly. You could also look into getting an external voltage regulator, modify your current alternator voltage regulator (if it’s possible), or upgrade your alternator. 55 minutes ago, [email protected] said: if you don't know the answer dont reply No need for that

If you go this route, you may as well run a 16 volt system. good luck Sir.
January 7, 20196 yr Also, higher volt (14 and 16) cells, have lower amp hour ratings. Keep that in mind also.

January 7, 20196 yr I would series up a 8 volt with a 6 volt before I’d run a 14 volt battery. Just Saying

Just Saying I don't think i will do that either i will just get a 12 volt ,,,,,, I just was wondering how people are using 14 volt batteries ....... when all factory OEM alternators on cars and trucks vo are regulated at 12 to 14 volts . So how are people using them in there daily drivers . or are they just using them for competition ....
January 8, 20196 yr 2nd charging system.leave one (stock)alt for oem..then add 1 or 2 maybe 3 alts if it fits for the stereo equipment
January 8, 20196 yr Author I never plan on going this crazy with my sound.... i got a pa for that ...... but it not like it was in the 70 and 80 everything is a lot cheaper and better ,,,,,,,the 250 amp alternator was only 160 dollars but i my have to up it this ddm2b is going to be a monster just need a few more pieces to get like a ss2b amp and some 10 inch subs and some 6.5 mid bass for rear doors My front doors are jbl gti 660 components with the huge crossover you can't hide anywhere lol ,,,,but they do sound great in a sealed enclosure and at high volumes
January 8, 20196 yr Author nope when you start to try and get over 140 db it all about how much money you have to blow just to get 3 or 6 db more you have to double everything ,amps, batteries , wire ,speakers i am not rich enough for that i have to build on a budget most one piece at a time
January 12, 20196 yr I’m all about keeping things simple and sounding good !!! Keep us posted brother.

Drove it to finals, 3 times, a round trip of 32 hours each time. 4 alts. 3 for high side (charging at 17.9) and one for the rig. 24 D1600s on the high side, 2 12v bats on the low. Low runs the rig, and 4 chan amps and such. High, runs the 4 6ks and feed the d1600s.
