Ok... You lost me here....
Are you going to drive around with an extension cord dragging behind you, or put a generator in the trunk??
Power Supply = AC to DC conversion. You know, house power to radio power... LOL

With that little setup? Not an issue. I still don't know where the "power supply" is coming from... a power supply converts AC to DC (commonly, 115VAC/60Hz to 12VDC) to power DC devices. Your car is already 12VDC - a power supply isn't necessary.Screwed wrote:well id prefer not to draw to much power from the vehicles battery
Now, are you talking about a power supply for the strobe tubes?

Yea really, I am using the battery only to run 2 110 watt spectras, a Warn 12000# winch, and quick connect jumper cable setup, 2 Spectra Sirens, my strobe pack, and my mini edge bar...and it doesnt even phase the battery...plus a generator can get kinda pricey unless you plan to run a huge amount of 12v equipment...

Three X9000's, a laptop with docking station and GPS, and a rf modulator to put the laptop audio over the stereo, gotta listen to my mp3 collection while mobile of course.
And sometimes a cell phone charger, a flashlight charger, an HT charger... Not a problem and this is just a wee minivan with stock alternator. Though it is a 100amp unit.
