So buy a 240v to 12v convertor for your car?

bigger than your house! haha

Oh...BTW...if you are spending so much time in your car I rather spend it on
home hifi than the car.

For this you want a proper mains opertated regulated power supply at 13.8v,
30amp minumum. They're not cheap sorry.

You'd be better off with a suitcase silent generator and a mini hifi /
ghetto blaster.
