How to get an EMG running on 18 Volts?

I'm getting a schecter blackjack so at the moment I'm going to stick to my EMG 707 in my Ibanez. However, I've noticed some of you were talking about a considerable improvement of EMG's sound when running on 18 Volts... Can you tell me how to do that? How should i wire the batteries? Or is there a special battery... Thanks

Same here. Share your wisdom, oh 18-Volt-Modders...:-). What exactly does change, how to do it, why does it change? Tell us!

^ in parallel, and not series?

I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways,
we could reverse the particle flow through the gate.
We'll cross the streams.

I did this to my Wolfgang with EMGs and think it sounds great.

Series doubles the voltage. Parallel will prolong the battery life.

Thanks for this I might try to get this done on my and ESP and my bandmate's Jackson C.O.W. I had this mod on my KxK but I wasn't vibing with the 707 at the time to notice if it mattered.
