My 150 amp power supply weighs less than 20 pounds and is the size a shoe box...........Did you check out audio authority, I know they have what your looking for....It cost me $385 plus freight......I would throw a wager that my 150 would have no problem powering you toys at a car show.......

Jeremy, I contacted audio authority and let me first say they were very helpful! However, the unit they carry only can stand a 100 amp draw. The unit can be wired with a second unit to total 200 amps. Not bad at all, BUT the plug for the power supply is for a 20 amp outlet. It primarily designed for show rooms, etc., people who can wire-in the 20 amp outlet if needed, and not for moving to different shows, as I do.
They did refer me to another company...I will check them out.
So far looks like the triplite is an option.
Here's another question. If my 800.2 amp has a 120 amp fuse and my 600.4 has a 80 amp fuse, if I don't run that many amps to my amplifier can that mess my amp up?

No it shouldn't hurt your amps, if your playing it full bore for awhile you'll see a performance drop. You'll have it powered through the battery so you can play it loud for a quite a bit before you'll see a power drop. I know at most show they have it in the rules that they don't want the stereo on loud all the time, just to show it off then turn it back down. There is a local show where I am at where they banned turning it up at all, if you do they won't  allow you in the show for 2 years. I don't participate in shows that conservative anymore, but what I am sayin is you might want to look into the rules for the show your looking into attending or being in.  Food for thought, I had 2 concept 1210 class d sub amps powered off my 150a power supply with a optima yellow top for storage, I played them for about 20 minutes pushing 4 12's. they have 4 40 amp fuses in each. I had no problems, I have a monitor top capacitor on my display and  the lowest it dropped was  14.2 volts while the subs were shaking my showroom apart. What I am saying is unless you plan on leaving it blasting all day long you may be able to snag a 150 or 100 amp supply and be ok.

Most shows I am attending are high profile shows that do not have any requirements for turning up your system. Although, try competing with Kicker and some other vendors for a loud system...lol
Back to the issue...I have to disconnect my battery for these type of shows, hence the reason I wanted a powerful enough power supply to power my equipment (if I decided to show-off my system for a short while).
