If you wanna go with Kinetik for batteries I'd recommmend the 2400 series. I'd have a battery per amp. Those amp pull some massive current. If the voltage drops too low for too long the amps will fry.

i noticed you said you want a 16 volt system.
One those amps are not very stable on 16+ volts, I watched 3 go up at world finals this year. be careful
Those amps are also capable of drawing close to 400 amps of current per amp, your looking at 3200 amps of current draw
Also the Kinetik 1800's will boil and literly explode at over 15.4 volts, those batteries are meant to handle a max of 15.4 volts. They will charge to 16.1 but then settle.
If you looking for a 16 volt setup, you alternator will have to be either externally regulated, or built by a company like ohio gen, irragi, powermaster, High OUtput alts, ect ect
Why a Wall? everyone seams to think they need a wall to be loud, if this is your conception please step away from it...You can be very very loud with a non wall setup, I am well over 160DB with a non wall setup for burps only, And there are people with a non wall setup in explorers in DB drag well into the high 150's 155-156db
Last but not least who are you buying this $10,000 to $15,000 setup from?
