[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8721004, member: 614752"] I'd think you'd be quite a bit safer running 4 subs on your amp, you'd certainly have plenty of warning (smell) before you burned up coils. If you get your electrical right and dial in your amp so that you're seeing its full potential it'll make enough power to burn up two of those subs very quickly. I cannot vouch for any of the off-the-shelf LTO batteries and I have my doubts running any of them with AGM is doing you any favors. Regardless of what their marketing hype says your AGM will want to rest at 12.6-12.8 and your LTO bank will always want to sit higher than that so your AGM will always be parasitic on the system. Bear in mind LTO is meant to do 20,000+ charge cycles over 15-20 years so it's probably not going to make them fail any time soon but IMO it's not optimum. ' I bought loose cells from China, some copper bar stock from out in the midwest, and built my own banks but this is probably impractical for most folks and was a bit of a pain in the arse. [/QUOTE]
