How do you properly power a car audio amplifier at 14.4v?
I want to know how to power a car audio amplifier at 14.4v.
If I have an amp connected to a 12v battery(Kinetik) in my trunk that is connected to my 12v starting battery(Duralast) under my hood that is connected to my 200amp alternator, will I be running my amp at 14.4v?
When your car is turned on, your alternator and battery running together should run at 14.4v or higher. When your bass hits your voltage shouldn’t drop below 14.4v or your going to need a high-output alternator.

First off, if you are running at 14.4 volts with a 200 amp alternator, then you already have the H.O. alternator, and I’m sure that has the big 3 upgrade on it, so you will be fine. The amp will run at 14.4 simply by having that voltage going to the amp. Just make sure that that’s the voltage present there. And depending on the size amp, going under 14 volts is fine. Just make sure your voltage regulator from the alternator is going to allow 14.4 to flow without killing the regulator.

Have 2000 watts on 105 amp alt, 2 stinger 680 batteries, 1 Duralast 900, still runs fine after 3 years.
