[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8689342, member: 650438"] its not the batteries its mainly the alts charging 15.+ aka 15.4 or so. Rail caps in full bridged amps are basically set to 90+ % usage capacity for normal 12.6-14.4 volt operations. A constant 15.4 volts after drop with slight clipping causes the rail caps, power supply and the bare minimum number of fets to be well over capacity and build up waaay too much heat way too fast. If you watch bare vids taramps repair videos he'll tell you the full aspects of it as well, very informative and he tells you straight up the amps arent meant to do actual rated for long periods of times due to lack of proper amounts of fets which is pretty much in line with what all the distributors say. The amount of batteries does not matter. The alternator charging voltage does. Everyone that I know charges 15 volts plus has popped a taramps when they soft clipped. Everyone else is soft clipping all day long without ever popping it. I'm not bashing on taramps i'm literally just giving it to you straight. I love it i use it but you need to know the operating conditions if you want to have a healthy functioning amp. You cannot treat it like a korean unless you have the bass series which have much beefier internals but they arent operating anywhere at full capacity at the start like the MD and HD series are.
