Elantra with trailer vs dodge caravan for carrying band equipment?
Hello, I am in a band that consists of three membeins. We have to carry my drums, two guitars, bass amp, guitar amp/pedals. The vehicle will be my daily driver when not playing shows. All shows are within 100 miles. Ive read the elantra has a 3000lb towing capacity I which I will need to purchase a hitch and small enclosed trailer. The elantra would get great mpg but, the caravan (fold n go seats)may be easier when playing gigs. Even if the mpg for daily use would be much less.

That trailer is easily stolen not secure and an alantra is not a very good dependable car to begin with the didge is a much better choice considering the short distances requierd. I suggest that make sure the suspension is in good shape and to put a good alarm with a immobilizer so it will not start if someone tries to steal it and buy a good alarm and have it installed by a professional. I would set it up for the remote start the remote door locks and have the alarm page the band members cell phone if a problem happens on the road. The alarm itself is less than 4 or 5 hundred but the bands equipment is priceless and you may get a small discount incar insurance but peace of mind is huge. A good stereo installation store alsodoes alarms. Do your research dont buy a cheap one. Get a brand name and talk to several stores and find out what is the top of the linePowering a mobile sound system?
I need to put a largeish sound system on a trailer for a 4th of july float. How can I get power to a mixer, an amp, and speakers without being plugged in or using a generator?

Can you connect to the tow vehicle? If so use an inverter to convert 12VDC to 120VAC to power your equipment. Use an amplifier that will operate directly from 12VDC.Powering a Mobile Sound System?

Question answered by Josh
you could try getting an inverter that will plug into your power outlet in the vehicle thats towing your trailer. but most of these only range in power from 100-400 watts. this will not be enough to run all your sound equipment. i mean it couldn't even run my xbox. so the sound equipment would simply be too much. your best bet would be to just go invest in one of those small honda generators. now im just estimating here, but you will probably need at least a 1000 watts. if nothing else, just borrow the generator from a friend. your last possible option(which i do NOT recommend) would be to get an inverter for each power outlet in the vehicle (assuming there is more than one) and plug the mixer into one and the amp into the others. (your speakers should be able to run off just the amp. they shouldn't need their own external power supply.) now this is a terrible idea. and it still may not work. but you can give it a try...Bass amp question?
I am looking at a bass amp and it says that it is 100 watts (rms) into 4 ohms 75 watts (rms) into 8 ohms. I already asked what ohms means and i kind of understand but it seems kind of tecnical. I just want to know if it is 100 watts or 75watts. Or if it is both what is it that causes it to varry. I dont know very much about electronics so if you could please keep it it gerneral terms that would be good.

Man,,it IS Technical. Interpretation of what it all means is very subjective. 2 different 100 watt amps can sound & feel Totally different,,,and have totally different volume levels. There's Great TECHNICAL significance to all the specs and stuff,,, But as far as Musical Instruments and Sound Amplification,,, The Only Real Way to tell What's What is to PLAY It. An old Fender Bassman is Still one of the "Standards to measure Bass Amps" by. In terms of Tone and Feel. 30~40Watts into 10" Speakers. On Paper it SUX. On Stage,it RULES. A 50 Watt Marshall or Ampeg blows away a 100Watt Fender in terms of Volume Anyway,,,the deal about Ohms and 75 vs 100watts. OHMS in a speaker is a measurement of the Load they put on the Amp. Vaguely similar to Watts in a Light bulb or electrical appliance. Amps are Designed to operate under a certain Load. Not just a MAX Load value,,,like Trailer Towing capacity or something. But as a RANGE of Load,,,, It needs to operate between a Minimum and Maximun Load. It needs that to produce the TONE and FEEL the Circuit was designed to produce. And it also needs to stay within that Load Range for it to Mechanically/Electronically Reliable & have Long Life,,,without overheating,overloading,etc,etc. It's difficult to explain,,, and to understand about the "75 vs 100w" thing. The Mfgr is Not trying to con you into thinking you're Buying an Extra Feature,or Something Special,,,a Dual-Powered Amp or whatever. Though many amps are designed to operate at ONE specific Ohms Load for Optimum Efficiency,,,most will function fine with up to a "2x mismatch". Like running 8 Ohm speakers on a 4 Ohm amp. What they are saying is the Amp's Workable RANGE of Load Capacity,,,, and the Power Output at both the Minimum and Maximum Load. Reason they do that is so you can Know>>> a) What Speakers are safe to Use b)What Speaker Combinations you can hook up to it c)What amount of Power You can expect at each Load Level. d) HOW to connect additional speakers to stay within the Load Range. All sorts of possibilities exist,,,and they all sound a bit different. The Different Loads and Power Outputs wont change your Volume much at all. But it DOES change how the amp responds to the player's touch. All that stuff is "important",,,and worth learning about someday. But the Realest ,Truest Measure of all that is how a particular Amp Sounds and Feels to YOU. So in a real-world sense ,,,You really dont have to worry as much about Specs as you do SOUND and Sensitivity. If you Like the Amp,,,and it's Loud Enough for what you need,,that's what matters most of all. Or,,,,if at all possible,,,get the Music Store to connect some different speaker cabs and listen to the differences it makes. If you are not a very experienced player in terms of Chosing Equipment and stuff,,,,find a buddy who's into the hardware of it all to go Amp Shopping with you. Never hurts to have a 2nd opinion anyway. I'm not certain that I've explained much that can be any use to you. The Ohms and Watts thing,,,just boils down to How the electronics geeks describe the circuits capabilities. It's NOT much use to know,,,because ya cant directly compare Amps by Technical Specs. So dont get too caught up in the numbers. Listen to The AMP,,,not the sales pitch & facts & figures:)camping things and what not :(?
So like we plugged an extension cord to our trailor and when we went to go plug it in to the power side we realized that we needed the prong side of the extension cord. so is there like a double sided prong thing we can get and where could i get that?

Some people are smug in the opinion that you need to hike 20 miles into the back country and sleep on the bare ground under a tarp to be "camping." Tens of thousands of RV'ers disagree. I personally enjoy backpacking, car camping and RV'ing; each have their attractions and distractions. It sounds like you're trying to plug-in to the AC "accessory" receptacles on your trailer. These are usually found on the "front" side (entrance, or passenger-side if viewed when hooked-up to your tow rig) of the camper, although some RV's also have them on the "back" side as well. Instead, you need to find what's referred to as the "shore power" jack or power cord. The "shore power" jack will be a very large 3-prong, circular, male jack under a spring-loaded door, usually at the rear of the back side of a travel trailer, or a heavy-duty extension cord located under the rear dinette seat that can be fished through a covered "mouse hole" in the outside wall under that seat. See the example pictures posted in the sources. If you have the receptacle, rather than the permanently-attached wire, you will need a shore line (heavy duty extension cord with appropriate ends), which again is usually stored under one of the dinette benches, though it might be kept elsewhere. Another reference image is supplied below. The shore line (permanent or temporary) is designed to plug into a 30-Amp, 120V/AC RV receptacle, and has a Y-shaped male plug on the supply end. There are adapters (another picture link provided) you can use to plug into a regular 3-prong AC outlet, but you need to limit what equipment you use in the camper when using an adapter to avoid overloading the circuit and tripping the breaker or fuse. Finally, I included a link to a little bit more info on the subject. .
