Power inverter. Black and Decker makes a variety of affordable models that should be able to power your combo.

+1. (these things convert 12v DC to 110v AC curent)
Here's a few:

Just check your amps 110 volt power consumption ratings. (should say near your power cord/or in the manual)
Then just make sure the 12-volt/DC to 110-volt/AC power inverter's output rating is equal too or preferably a bit higher than your amps 110v-wattage power requirements.
(I'm not referring to your amps 150 watt power amp output here)

PS: Your cars battery will probably go dead after an hour or two unless you run the engine...

So very, very true. Goes in the same league as inflatin an inflatable raft from Your tires etc. etc. .
