sideshowbob has told me the run down before, basically he has one or two 12v sla's, i cant remember if theyre wired so that one battery can power both nt222 boxes or if he has a 12v for each channel, but my memory tells me he runs one big 12v for both boxes, then 6v's for the v3 :)

Any reported back injuries? I was hoping for a Walmart solution.

well, im 99% positive they have to be fed 12v, so why not just get some rc style 12v NIMH packs and a smart charger ???

yes, the tubes take 12v power...its worth the weight for the sound they produce. Split the power cables into 1 XLR power cable...EC90 or GP90 work good
