For a sort of gheto set up this is what I do. Hook everything up to a car battery then the battery up to a charger. Works just fine for my 2k watt system. At circuit city they use big ass inverters and cap's.

Any radio shack or similar store should have a AC to DC converter with + and - terminals that will work. Just make sure that it is big enough to power your system.

Yeah, that'll do, but this is the part you need...
Part number: ABP.AC.12.1600W/M-PFC (Single Output: 12VDC/133A)
I bet it's pretty spendy, tho!

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
