Big diesel battery would help, and a higher amp alternator.
You will need a inverter to convert 12v to 240v(for the ps2's to run)

erm no. he's obviously an idiot.

PS2 = 240v
Car battery = 12v

You need an inverter, as said above. It basically converts your 12v supply into a 240v supply.

get a caravan batt, a split charger, bigger alt and an inverter... problem solved.
And you could wire up neons to work on an interia plug as long as it had a tranfsformer.

The inverters for those run on 12v though.
