Im doing a large media system in my car that is gonna be used at my store for demo purposes and I need to run this with the car off for quite a while and I need to know, If Im gonna add a single battery with an Isolator, what kinda trouble am I gonna run into with my altenator being that it is only  a stock alt on my swift. I am not running a large stereo system with this, just a single 12 and a set of 6 4 tweet up front, but its still gonna be a small alt. Also, what kinda systems are people putting into there vehicles to plug them into the wall, are they just using a standard power supply or what?

I've seen dealerships use a standard battery charger to display TV systems, although if you have a stereo system, I don't know if the charger will keep up.

I havent figured out the total draw yet but the video looks to be about a 12-15 amp draw and the stereo has a fuse rating of 40 on each amp and then the deck at 10 amps and the preamp at like 3. With all that going I dont see the battery charger doing it, I could mabye use a booster but I would rather have something that I can install in the spare tire well if possible.

You could use one of those big power inverters used for display boards, just have an ac plug under the bumper to plug into a wall.
