I like the idea. Personally I would go straight off the battery and use a relay so you only get power with the ignition on. Maybe wire the relay to one of the factory wires like the winch control uses? Fuse the power as well. Battery Tender makes these permanent battery hookups with an inline fuse that are made for their chargers but might work well. I've seen them for $8 at a dealer. Not sure if vibration would be an issue, but maybe keep that in mind?

Most tubes are wired with a cig. Lighter power plug and you run it to your auxiliary plug on your quad.. you can get the plug from radio shack

I've seen quite a few atv's down here use small deep cycle batteries to power their sound systems. From mild systems to hearum before you seeum!!!

how do they keep the battery charged? do they just charge them at home then ride or do they have a way to charge it from the alt.?

Talked with a couple people on the trail this afternoon & they charge them @ home. One of them was camping all weekend & said he had no problems with the battery lasting. His setup was basic 50 watt car/cd radio & 2 6X9 speakers. I would think as long as no amps were used there shouldn't be a problem with deep cycle battery lasting that long!!
