Even if someone gives you power and G ratings for the empeg, they're not going to mean much "in practice". Personally, I think you should just try it and let us know how it goes.

Worst that could happen? Your hard disk goes bad after a month. Hard disks are (relatively) cheap these days. If you keep the MP3s on your PC's hard disk, then there's no loss there if you have to buy a new disk. Besides, with the temperatures the way they are where you live, I think your hard disk is in jeopardy as-is, so you haven't got much to lose.

And if the battery doesn't cut it, well, then you've only lost the amount of time it took to make the mounting assembly and try it out. In the meantime, it would have been a cool thing to try and we could all learn something from it.

I say go for it. All I ask is that you document the installation with photographs.
