Funny thing I'm putting together the same J10 setup for tailgate season at Texas A&M. I'm using the 6 piezo flat array, and I picked up a 2020 amp to go with it. Just hearing it out of the AC power adapter, it's going to hit pretty hard. How much playtime did you get off of the little SLA battery?
We generally tap the keg around 7:30 AM and I just want to make sure I pass out before the battery does.

Shouldn't be a problem.....Aggies can't hold their beer very well.

And the sheep are pretty happy about that.
Hook 'em....

About 5 hours off that bigger SLA battery (1200Ah Werker brand from Batteries Plus, I think it was $50). Probably could have gone a little longer, but we've never tailgated longer than that.
Funny part is it seems louder than the dual Mackie powered speakers that some dude brought along with a generator. The highs definitely cut through the crappy country they set to "obnoxious".

Nice. Did you just rig up a size M plug and wire it straight to the battery terminals?

Exactly. I dropped an inline fuse, but I can't remember what size. Whatever it said on the power supply.
