Power supply for car shows

Anyone have any recommendations for car show power supply? I'm not looking for anything huge, maybe 60-80 amps. Also feel free to post any tips you or your friends have used during shows.

Thanks,

60 - 80 amps is huge lol..not sure what your running ..
the best that all the manufacturers use at their shows are:

kinda pricey but they run long hours..also look at radio shack they have some cheaper ones that are also durable..

you can also use those battery chargers the ones on wheels.

Thanks for the link GWhiz, those look pretty nice. 60-80 is small compared to some who run 200+. I'm not planning to have my stereo booming so I was trying to stay low on amperage.

No, not HIN. I went to HIN here a couple of years ago and it was kind of weak. There were some nice cars there but then they'd have a line of cars in the corner sitting in the dark. It was like going to Disney and half of the rides were broken.

I'm not planning to have my system running hard but if I'm going to spend $100-150 on a power supply to run just the screens why not spend another $30-$50 to cover the entire system.

I didn't see any from Radio Shack but I did find one from Stinger. 40 amp $189
