Hey i want some portable tunes to be powered by a spare optima i have.

Would it be better to use a plugin type stereo and a convertor.
Or try to rig up a car audio deck and some speakers.

Which would last longer?
Are those power convertors any good? do they drain batterys hard?

This would mainly be used for camping and such..

Use automotive equipment. Inverters work great, but they are very demanding from the battery.
