Battery duration?

Hey all,

Just a small query in regards to the average car battery..

I'm going to a drive in cinema next week, and as opposed to listening to the sh*tty speakers you mount on your window, I have the option of using my own sound system by tuning into a frequency with the tuner... My only concern is that I don't know if the duration of the film will drain my battery or not! Starting my car through the course of the movie is a really bad idea and I don't want to piss anyone off, so I'm just wondering if my battery can actually last ~2hrs with my 2000W sound system on average volume... Will it be advised that I bring a spare battery?


Cheers

Can't hurt to bring a spare battery.

Everyone will be listening through their car radios, they normally don't have speakers that clip to your windows anymore.

The cinema should have a jump start pack too, they are used to dealing with flat batteries.
We took the Vectra to a double screening...Wreck it Ralph + The Hobbit...They told everyone to run their engines inbetween the 2 movies.

Have fun :D

Edit: The Vectra made it through the night OK, but it doesn't have any amps. I thought the system in the FTO would suck the battery dry to quick, hence taking the Vectra.

Also depends on the battery you have. Heavy duty will last longer.
