Whats up guys. This may sound like a newb question, and thats fine, because ive never done it nor been interested in it, but I'm looking for the best way to run electric to my car at car shows for neons, msuic, and TVs without having to run the car. Gas is expensive and batteries often die quickly. I'm kind of looking for those generator things I guess that they rent out at Hot Import Nights or something. Anyone have a good solution? Thanks

Steve

most car shows have hook ups for power... i've seen ppl b4 plug in a battery charger and just leave that on thier cars with the key turn for the show...

You're supposed to disconnect the battery, and use a power supply for the 120V AC to 12V DC conversion.

I use a 40 amp 12V power supply, it's enough for all my lights and even the head unit (but no subs). Add up the total current draw on the stuff you want to use at the show, then get the appropriately sized power supply. Good ones are expensive, but worth it. Mine came from Ebay.

Ok cool - and yea most INDOOR shows have hokups for power but I actually do way more outdoor shows. Thanks for the reply lenko, I'll look into it

you could also use a battery pack or some sort probably... That what I used to used for my xbox before I had a power inverter
