KHC 16V or KHC 2000 Power Cell????

[wof131s 10]

Hello all,

am new to this forum and seeking help. I currently have a 850CCA battery under the hood and wanting your opinion on adding either the KHC 16V Power Cell or the KHC 2000 to my system. I was thinking that the 16V would supply the voltage to the amp to put out full power and do a good job supply power, while with the KHC 2000 i may still have the 13.8 volts that i currently have ( or not, am not sure) but will surely have the power needed to run the system. I have a 230 amp HO alternator and the big 3 done (jointed 2 4 gauge wires together for each run, may need to change to 0 gauge?). I have a AQ2200D amp and 2 12" Incriminator Audio Death Rows. Which power cell would be the better choice for this application?

Thank in advance for your response.

I havent heard very good things about the KHC 16V.

The amp will get the voltage from the alt anyway. If it is doing its job then the amp should be plenty powered. A 230 amp h/o alt should be holding in the 14's. Do you have 1/0 wiring?

[wof131s 10]

I doubled up the 4 gauge and did the big 3 that way. Should i take that out and replace it with a 0 gauge wire?

[wof131s 10]

Should i change the doubled 4 gauge to 0 gauge? Will that help any?

It would clean it up and it MIGHT allow more current, just a wee bit, to flow more easily.. I would suggest 1/0 just because it rocks

LOL. a wee bit goes a long way in car audio man. thank you

To run 16v your alt would need an adjustable regulator and or need step up modules, step down modules or multiple kinetik 16v cells to help run the 12v for the car. 0 ga in your big 3 would at least help in simplifying the wire job. Unless you are looking to gain every tenth of a db you can I would stay at 12v. For the cost difference you could simply just move up in amplifier power to get the same result as the 16v and save money.
