question about battery

hi, i'm not sure if i asked this before, but here is my idea if i can't get a totally custom made alternator built to when i need it to be, here is my plan, Get to kinetik 16 volt volts and wire them paralle to my sub amp and have my 4 channel amp being powered by my alternator/starter battery. and i say 16 volt batter yes because of the amount of voltage drops and i was wondering how often would 2 Kinetik HC16V batteries last. the sib amp is a md1d

Re: question about battery

You should be able to have any alternator made that you want. The alternator is always the best place to start IMO. I have read many threads where the battery / alternator / cap is the topic issue, and here is what I've done....
I have a friend who has an ignition shop in Rochester, NY, and I had him build me a Dodge alternator with a HD Ford external regulator, and I mounted and hard-wired it into my 1992 Nissan Stanza. I have 80 amps / 16.7 volts at idle, and 160 amps at anything over 1600 rpms.
My system consists of an Alpine CDA-9885 / 2 Audio Control EQL's / MB Quart and Infinity highs / one JL 13W7 / one old school Punch 4080 and one Punch 200 / one - 1 farad cap.
My point in saying all this is....because it was build the correct way, when I have all my lights on and a bass CD going, the voltage only drops .7 volts. 2 batteries and more caps are not going to give you those results. Granted that I put $600+ into the alternator alone, my electrical system has been bullet-proof for 5 years now....less the alternator bearing of course.

Good luck!....

I don't think the batteries would last that long if you are playing it loud.

Re: question about battery

Definitely go with a bigger alt if you can and if you absolutely wanted to get a second battery take a look at Kinetic's HC batteries they range from a 600 to 2400 amp source.

Re: question about battery

Actually 2 batts is a good idea when done right.

Don't ever look at cars as just imports or domestics. Just because a car is made in a certain country doesn't mean that it is anything like another car from that country. An example of this is Mitsubishi reliability, just because they are Japanese doesn't mean that they are as reliable as a Honda or Toyota.
