    Default Amps that can be run from an automobile?

    Are there any amps that run on 12V DC?

    I would like a small decent amp I could use to practice with while at work on my lunch break. I bought a few JamPlugs recently that let you broadcast over FM. They work, but the problrm is the built-in rechargable battery won't hold a charge! Now I know why they were marked down from $49 to $19 each!

    I'm going to try replacing the battery but since these are molded together I most likely will break it trying to repair it. We'll have to see... any other ideas?

    I guess 9v battery amps don't cut it? I was going to suggest the First Acts with the VWs but that's already been done.

    Well what about the Roland Micro Cubes? You can take those anywhere and they sound pretty good!

    Or maybe a small 10-15w ss regular amp, might draw 15-20 watts. One of those 12vdc-110vac plug-in inverters should be able to run that without slaughtering your battery. The smaller, less expensive ones are usually rated for 120-150 watts I think.
