Well i would work but i need the amps A car batt cranks out i think 400 amps. So a car amp probly need close to that and even a car battery charger dont make that. So i have no clue but if you know where i can get one that pushes 400amp i would be happpy

i have done this sort of thing b4 and the power supply doesn't have to have the capacity of a car battery dut you just have to add up the fuse ratings on all the gear you intend to be using o it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Use a car battery connect your amp to your car battery and connect a car battery charger to your battery (note the charger acts as a Alternator) and turn the charger to medium or what works best.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/banghead.gif.8606515f668c74f6de0281deb475b6fd.gif

charger isn't going to last long--- and battery will be dead before you know it.

In all the time it's taken to post all of this, and the costs of an AC/DC power inverter you could have just bought a $40 boom box

And have it sound nowhere as good. If you plan to set up a subwoofer, do you really think a "$40 boom box" with a 4" woofer would have the dynamic range of a 12" from your car? If he was searching for a "ghetto blaster" sound, why wouldn't he buy one?
