What do you do different for drive-in-movies?

Hey guys, recently been going to drive-ins a lot lately. Just wanting to know what you guys with your custom systems do when you go there. I unhook the amp for my subs and just run my 4ch. to my speakers. It works...

what do you guys do? Or do you simply just start the car every 20 minutes type thing...

give me suggestions!

yeah, well my car will last a little over an hour with very low volume. And even then it just BARELY starts. Its an old battery, I think it has never been replaced...13 years old. Doesn't hold a charge for very long

just realized I can just bring a boom box w/batteries, stupid me never thought of that before lol

i keep my car on and blure the bass to the point where it becomes unbareable for the cars around me. upon their departure i unhook my sub and proceed to consume heavy amounts of alcohol and variouse other controled substances for the remainder of the movie.

Went there like a month ago, I didn't run the 91 Century once, it's a Canadian Tire battery, 550W on 2 12's, loud through the whole movie, and it started fine. I went there with my friend, he puts his interior on, I look over, and it's so hotboxed that I can't see the 4 people in it LOL.

I miss the drive in so much. The one we had here was wrecked when an oil refinery exploded. They weren't making enough money to bother restoring it. The drive in was awesome. Two movies for 7 bucks. We used to take a big caravan and put the bed down in the back and then everyone would just hide under it... Hahaha. We would get about 8 people into the movie for like 14 bucks. Goodtimes.
