Default amp question 18V

okay so i was looking at amps one night to kill time! and i noticed this particular amp

Adassa Audio The Warlord

1 x 1600W @ 4 ohm
1 x 2700W @ 2 ohm
1 x 3400W @ 1 ohm (12V)
1 x 5000W @ 1 ohm (14V)
1 x 5900W @ 1 ohm (16V)
1 x 7500W @ 1 ohm (18V)

i guess my main question is how would one get 16 or even 18v to that amp? like how would you have to use a bigger alternator and more bbateries?

Run 16v batteries and a 16v charging system... like my Jeep:





Those two silver modules are DC step-up modules to charge my 16v bank from a 12v system. Alternatively you can use an adjustable regulator alternator to charge the 16v bank and use a step-down module to run the car.

I opted to leave the 12v system alone and use these modules

i use 2 alts and an external regulator to adjust my voltage to what i want but i use powermaster step down mods to charge my 12V either one is a great way to go its just how much do you want to spend you can also use a stand alone bank of batts and get a batt charger
