I am planning on putting my Integra in the Hot Import Nights show in Boston, MA on July 17th. It is at the Bayside Expo Center, and having been there I know it is indoors. I was wondering, how can I run my stereo, neon lights, strobes, etc. for a good portion of the show (3-5 hours) without draining my battery. For a little background, my stereo is about 2500 watts RMS (yes I know this is right), plus a 750 watt power inverter for a carputer and other lighting, and about 16 neon tubes and strobes. I have an Optima primary battery, as well as a yellow top secondary battery, 5 farad capacitor, and 200 amp alternator. Even with this, I was told that I can probably have my stereo, light, etc. on for about 45 minutes - 1 hour before the secondary battery is drained (which I don't want to do). So if anyone knows a solution, please help me. I doubt that I will be able to start my car periodically to rejuice the batteries because it's indoors, but there has to be a way, since I've been to many shows before and seen cars w/ systems blaring and tons of lights on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well you got a pretty good setup! I think you will not have to blast your music all 3-4 hours. You can run your music for like 30mins at a time. Then give your batt time to charge up.

to charge the car would have to be running...

you can get a dc power supply but they are not cheap. lookin around $250

I think $250 is not that bad considering. You can have it run up under the car into the batt.

you use it as the battery
