24v

[soldierboy404]

How do you get 24v out of a 12v system. Or is this even possible? Do I need to run a seperate charging system? If I run my amp at the higher volts will it shorten the life of the amp?

I meant 20v!!!!!

you need to run a seperate charging system made of 8v batteries.

NO AMP IS GOING TO TAKE 20v for long.

Thanks for the info I thought it would be as simple as installing a farad cap, or somthing like that. I'll just leave well enough alone.

not simple and not worth trying it..

anyone who suggests you run an amp at 20v is out of their mind.
the transistors are rated at 12v and running them over 16v is pushing your luck.

your entire system, coax, swr, etc would have to be perfect and even then
it wont last too long at that high of a voltage.
