I would like to use this for outdoor music performance, and connect 220W of equipment. Will this do the job? How long will it last for??

Not very long. Used it on my radio at pool and it only lasted for bout 1hr on full charge. Best is to buy a 12 volt car battery and a 110 converter.

We used it in a 4 hour outdoor situation with a mic, a domestic CD player, a block rocker sound system that needed power to run an iPod and still had some juice after 4 hours to give us enough to plug in a light so that we could clean up the site. Just be careful you don't plug in any high powered lamps as we tried that (eg. a bank of LEDs) and they sucked the power out in no time flat. I used a bedside light from IKEA to do the cleanup! Also, we would charge it fully before use. It's a very useful item in our kit.

Those speakers are probably rated at 1200W peak for like 3 seconds before they blow up, lol. This amp will be just fine for those speakers, but make sure you have the correct cable to hook them up, there are a few options on Amazon, and eBay, I have bought several cables and adapters for my DJ company, and I can tell you, it is nice to have the spares on hand just in case. You will need this cable to hook this amp to your ipod, it's a 10 foot long cable, should be just right for your setup, search amazon for this, Hosa CMP159 Stereo Breakout, 3.5 mm TRS to Dual 1/4 in TS, 10-Feet

It will be just fine! Remember it's only 15 watts. I just did a small gig with mine. Guitar, bass, drums. We play soft. It was great!!!!!!!!

I would not recommend it for outside use, its for indoor items that you constantly have to plugin and unplug, like cell phones, coffee makers, things like that. Outside have ground fault, if it gets wet if trips the fault. This item is not made for being exposed to the elements as far as I can see.

It will work. I don't see a RMS wattage listed but you will get half the wattage for whatever it's rated at 8ohms. Im using this on 8ohms home stereo speakers and it is more than loud for a garage.

This would work great for that. I use mine during power outages to run a fan and charge my phone. It'll run a small fan all night and a larger box fan for about 5 hours. A stereo should run a lot longer than that.

This will work fine through 1/4" outputs to a powered mixer or small amplifier. It is easy to use with the included sounds, which are ok. It can be used as a MIDI controller which adds for some flexibility later. If it will be used as part of a kit, you may wish to look at the mounting bracket that screws onto the base and allows attachment to other hardware. Otherwise it seems to need a surface to sit on.

It will work but u will only get about 2000 watt of clear sound u turn up any higher and it gets distorted otherwise u need a quality power amp

The amplifier has a lot of power. I think it would work in non-windy outdoor settings.

If you bridge it to get 150 watts you need to use an 8ohm speaker or it will overheat. I used up the 5.1 A&B; speakers on a Yamaha to power surround and an additional B set of speakers in a pool cabana. I have this set up as a third 2 channel amp to power a set of Bose outdoor in ground speakers which are 4ohms each. So far it has worked very well. It's in an enclosed cabinet and the internal fan does turn on when the weather is warm or I have it cranks up. You don't hear any fan noise unless you get close. So I do know it builds up heat. The auto power off and on is a very nice feature.

Yes it should be fine, that speaker doesn't require a lot of power and this puts out a decent amount of power to power speakers such as the one you mentioned.

We have been using a pair of these with a pair of Peavey SP 2BX for our indoor shows for the past 2 years. We mic everything. and send it out. I don't drive them real hard because it's not made for that. But it will give you more low end than without, and in a med to small venue works well. It won't give you the drive outdoors like the big equipment will, I use our dual Peavey 18" subs for the outdoor, and X-large events.

Should be fine for basic audio. For High Wattage and high end speakers I wouldn't. I would use a higher gauge. Be careful of some speaker wires. Bought an audio kit for a car and the wire was so brittle, after a few months all the strands broke and no conductivity. It was at a fitting that went in the input to the amp. Caused by the vibration of the car and going over bumps broke it through.

I just tested it, and it does work. However, keep in mind it will be extremely dim. Not only that, but in my case it was constantly flickering (however, this could have been due to lack of amperage). To be safe and sure, I'd go for at least a 12v 3a power supply. For my setup (11 strings total outside), I this for power: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008HARHN8 Which I hooked up to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A46UAQO Using a single controller, with split outputs, for the colors.

I been using it for my home audio system and I have a 12v DC converter that I just plug into the wall, so I dnt use it in a car if that's what you are going to do; however we have parties almost every weekend and I have two 150watts speakers w/subwofer hook up to it and let me tell you its just a beautiful and clear sound I have run it for 10-12 hours straight with the music blasting and it might get a little bit hot but no more that is expected which is just from the use. NO heating issues will def. Buy it again totally worth it!!!

I have this unit and I would rate the projection as a strong portable practice amp. I have been able to hold my own against 2 acoustic guitars and 1 reasonably amped electric guitar. I have only used it plugged in, so I can't comment if there is a loss of power / projection on batteries. I would say that if the street is not too loud and you are not looking to project down the block there is some chance it may serve your purpose.

I haven't used it outdoors, but it works so well indoors I would guess that it would work well outside too. I've not used it very long on the battery - it was plugged in when I used it, so I'm not sure about that. I will say that for what I paid, this has been an outstanding speaker system!
