Streaming from my car to my desktop player has been one of my dreams also. However the dead battery problem has been one of my nightmares. To this end I was actually thinking of adding a Gell Cell under the hood to power the empeg and wireless ethernet, while running the AMPs off switched main battery power. This way even if I run the battery down it will only be the empeg battery not the main battery. Also, when the ignition is off, even if the empeg powers up, it won't be able to power up the amps. In any case, next time I start the car, the battery will be recharged.
