I am combining a pair of solid state amps.
They each use a set of four 2SC2879's.
They each may draw 75amps if driven to full power.
I'd like to power them from a large deep-cycle
battery or two.
I'd like to be able to use that/those batteries
base or in a large travel trailer.
What large capacity deep-cycle battery(s) do you
recommend for this application?
When *base* is floating an Astron VS-50M 50A power
supply across the battery(s) sufficient to hold them
up during surges?
When operating fixed-portable from a *travel trailer*
should I anticipate the need for a small generator
on the towing tongue rather than tapping into the
travel trailer's power system?
If I use the dual-unit amp *mobile* in my 1996 Chevy
1500 van should I use:
1. An auxiliary battery?
2. A beefed-up battery in the van?
3. One or more of the large 1F or 2F caps the sound
nuts use mobile inline with the amp supply as a
power surge buffer?
4. Do I need to beef-up my alternator?
5. Other?
