Hello Guver,

Are you aware that the CBA is limited to 100 watt continuous? Actually the IC in it gets extremely hot if you go over around 60 watts. This tends to reduce the maximum amount you can draw for larger numbered cell packs.

For example, an 8 cell pack would have a starting voltage of around 11.2 volts (8 * 1.4 = 11.2). 100 watts divided by 11.2 volts would be a maximum current draw of 8.9 amps.

Now, if you invest another $500 and get the amplifier, you are good to go.
