OK, i called and no dice... they dont have a 110 to 12v converter, im not 100% sure that they make that converter, i looked online and didnt see one.
I seriously think all you need is a battery charger and youll go good to go.. set the charger to 12V, and call it an evening, thats the only 110v to 12v that i have seen. So, i have a hook up at sears with the 10% off so give me a holla..

If you are not running a full audio setup or tons of strobes... a small charger works well... mine is constant 10 AMPS... but strobes kill it... so I keep those off until a judge comes... and then just run them for a few minutes, as you'll see my tails pulse with the strobes pulling power
I have to get a full converter soon too...

There are a ton of compatible setups...
What you need really is a converter... and the amount of AMPS depends on how large your audio system is... Most will only need something like a 40 AMP....
All the converters give you a clean 12V output and different MAX Amperage...
Chargers are barely an acceptable midway solution, but almost all of them max out at 5-10 AMPS, which isn't enough for any audio setup larger than stock.

This is a decent priced 40 AMP one.

Just Picked up this exact model at a local RV store... Looks perfect and just wired some 4 gauge and clips onto it to hook onto my stock cables.

Mine is for 750 total watts... so, if you are running 1,000+ watts in amplifiers, you need more Amperage... You can get 100 AMP Converters... they just get REALLY pricey....
You know i could understand a converter like that for a diff kind of show, however, HIN is loud enough as it is, i would honestly doubt anybody would want to have their system louder than any of the stages(there are 2 stages) the market center in dallas is not THAT big, and is divided in 2 sections, they both have a stage in them.
