Watch the charging voltage - a normal regulator will cook an agm battery. I think the max charging voltage is 14.2v, anything above will shorten the life.

Check this link:
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/absorbent_glass_mat_agm

"As with all gelled and sealed units, AGM batteries are sensitive to overcharging. A charge to 2.40V/cell (and higher) is fine; however, the float charge should be reduced to between 2.25 and 2.30V/cell (summer temperatures may require lower voltages). Automotive charging systems for flooded lead acid often have a fixed float voltage setting of 14.40V (2.40V/cell); a direct replacement with a sealed unit could overcharge the battery on a long drive. (See BU-403: Charging Lead Acid.)"

I'm gonna clean it up later...just wanted to get it hooked up and running...I still have to install my be head unit and waiting on new rca splitters for my 4-ch amps...I'm gonna drill holes and run the wire through the back to pretty it up

If you wanted true maximum capacity you should have added 4 -6 volt Golf Cart batteries, 2 banks in series, then connected in parallel. I'm a fan of Trojan 2 -105's. That is what I use in my sailboat. If properly vented you'd have no issues with wet batteries, plus you can add water miser caps to return the water that will be evaporated from charging the crap out of them ;).

I had a buddy who worked at a radio station that did some crazy stuff in his Jeep Cherokee back in the late 80's. Massive box with multiple amps. the Two M&M subwoofers. I coudln't take more than about 10 minutes in that thing. I clearly remember the day we watch the crack in his windshield start and move across in a span of about 3 minutes....yeah....the pressure. I'm to old and def for that now. Got a pretty good thump going for my kid in this, but they don't need to suffer from tinnitus for all the stupid crap I did as a kid ;)
