The battery that I use is 105Ah. With the use of Ohm's law you can calculate the time the battery should run on your system.

When using such a amount of power from a 12V battery make sure you use thick power cables, else your system simply doesn't get enough power to reach his maximum.

How are you using Ohms law to calculate run time? There are so many factors affecting run time including amplifier gain settings, ambient temperature, the non-linear discharge rate of the battery, and even the volume and type of music being played.
