2 12 volt batterys or 2 6 volt
what gives me the most bang for my money. every other rig that I have bought always had 6 volt battery's but the new one has 2 12 volt. not sure what works better.

The marine batteries are intended for large loads where as the deep cycles are not. That helps with voltage drop and the inverter.

Ah, geez now it all makes sense.
The V drop has nothing to do with whether it's a 6V or 12V battery, but whether its a "marine" versus true deep-cycle like the GC batts (6 or 12V).
The "marine" types are designed to handle large loads like starting a motor with less V drop than a true deep-cycle. So of course they will have less V drop with the heavy loads of an inverter. And guess all "marine" batts are 12V, but true deep-cycles can be 6 or 12V (like GC2 or GC12s).
And I now see why SoundGuy prefers a Group 31 batt over the T-1275 (a true deep-cycle) I was suggesting.
Really appreciate the clarification.
