Powering my PA and Sub in my car Posted on: 19.03.2012 by Arletha Heddens So i have a 98 CRV (Its orange ) - Like this:2001_honda_crv_4x4_a_t_limited_100_fresh_like_new_93671877122938092.jpg Anyway, i have a Behringer EUROLIVE B1500D-PRO (About 1000watts RMS) and 2 Passive PA Speakers powered by an amp (About 250RMS i believe) Anyway. I was wondering, Would it be possible to power these guys in the back of the car through the cigarette lighter thing and an adapter like this and then having a powerboard or something attached to it? Or will this all try to pull too much power and do bad things to the speakers / the car? This would just be for the lulz. No real need for it, but i believe it would be pretty cool if i could get this to work, instead of buying a car sub and rewiring the whole car. Cheers. | |

| Erica Charvet 20.03.2012 | Absolutely not. The wiring and fusing going to your cigarette lighter will not support more than about 100-200 watts of draw. Nothing catastrophic would happen, your fuse would just blow instantly. To do this properly, you would have to hard-wire an DC to AC inverter rated at about 2000 wRMS using zero-gauge cable and preferably a supplemental battery. You're looking at spending at least $600-$1000 for this gear . It would actually be a better idea to use automotive amplifiers to run a PA gear out of your car. Decent car amps are not cheap either, though. |
