Here's a quick question for Sam. When the cars are on display, how do you power up the systems. I'm sure the cars are not running (coz then the stadium would be full of fumes). The battery by itself would not be able to sustain the power hungry subs and amps. Do all these display cars have to use external power? (something like an ac > dc converter)
You get 12-15V power supplies that run off 230V ac and generate between 80amperes to 200amperes of current, enough to run the entire system.
These are generally connected and placed under the car. There is no need to start the car to run the system after this.
