Re: Car Audio on a Cart - Alternatives to Battery Power?

thanks for the link, but those are kinda out of our budget. Is it possible to buy something like a 12v, 10amp power supply for around $50 at most?

What about powering the stereo through a battery while the battery is hooked up to a battery charger? My gut instinct tells me thats a really bad idea, but can anyone explain why?

Better yet, if anyone has created such a cart, how did you go about the task of powering your system?
