Hi Hank,
I ran a 20 watt Radio Shack amp off of a 110 volt inverter with a pair
of 12 inch speaker boxes for the Halloween parade last year. My music
could barely be heard over the music from the vehicles in front and
behind me. For this year's parade I plan on an minimum of an 80 watt
amp, but home to go much larger than that. The small amps are OK if
you're the only one with the music, but if you're trying to go
one-on-one with a kid with a $2000 stereo you won't stand a chance.
