Hmm .... well I can see how that might well be a problem with a lead-acid battery in less-than-optimal condition and/or near the end of its discharge cycle - and ragging the amplifier hard. I try (where possible/viable) to power ancillary bits of kit from their own batteries. We'd need to know the current consumption of the DSP .... I can see it would use a few watts - maybe somehting like 0.5A or so at a guess - so to play all day you might want 12V 5Ah or so. My 7-band car EQ (yeah, I know ... doesn'treally seem to degrade the signal though) uses about 200mA. I've always used a separate battery for that .... but its easy when (like me) you've built up a stash of various batteries over the years. BTW - it also neatly side-steps posible ground-loop issues.

Cool cheers Slaz, ground loop issues is another thing i have not heard of before. Ill have a look into that. I have just got a t.racks 12v dsp so have just been reading up trying to make sure im powering it correctly off a battery. Hoping the info helps CFLsound too
