Hello,

I am hoping my question is of relevance to forum members and that someone out there may just have answer or other guidance.

My disco company is looking to take part in a local street parade, the idea is to have 1 or possibly 2 400W (not active) speakers connected through to a 1000W amp, mixer and generic laptop in the car boot playing loud music to the group of dancers from a local school in convoy behind us.

The problem is of course how and what do we use to power all this electrical equipment? HSS Hire have quoted us for a petrol generator to give power equipment reaching up to 2200W, however another supplier has asked have I thought about how loud the power generator could actually be?

This is a one-off annual event which we need power for a maximum of 3 hours, we are not looking to spend a lot on something which only sees the light of day once a year so a real inexpensive solution to suit a very infrequent need.

Can anyone offer some words or wisdom? Links, advice, etc..

Thank you.
