[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 480253, member: 28452"] Yes, the power ratings quoted relating to amplifiers and speakers can be most misleading. "Music power" and "Peak (music) power", bear little relation to actual power that can be related back to the actual electrical power supplied into a system. IMHO these figures are quoted in advertising mainly to mislead, or at best to baffle non-technical buyers. The true measure of an amplifier's capability would be RMS output power, which is rarely quoted. To come back to the original question however I still maintain that using an invertor to power an amplifier intended for mains use is NOT the best way to go. It will work, but you will be wasting perhaps half of your battery capacity (and hence running time), in the power conversion processes. I think the recommendation to go for car audio gear will best serve your purpose. You could perhaps even source your gear from a car breaker's yard but you will need someone with the technical knowhow to help wire it up for you. [/QUOTE]
