Generators

Amoeba · 26 Apr 2006 at 21:51

I am looking to buy a generator to power my 35w amp in a field (don't ask why hehe). I have found one for 70 odd pounds which seems very reasonable, and it is rated at a max of 950watts. I have read somewhere else that the reality is similar to a constant 3A supply.. which leads me to believe the maximum continuous wattage would be ~720watts? I have no idea if my sums are right, but I am presuming that this genny is more than capable of running my little hifi amp...?

Any opinions?

Get a lister and run it on vegetable oil

How long do you have to run the amp for?

Would you be close to a car or able to get a car close to you?

If so, why not run the amp off of an inverter? Make sure it's a good one that produces a pure sine wave, not a modified one. Some amps don't like mod sine wave.....

w1nnar!

You shouldn't have a problem running the amp with that genny, however, you might not hear the speakers over the engine
