Best Battery Powered Speakers

Hi. Forgive me if I posted this before, but I can't find my original if I did.

I'm doing some DJing using a laptop with Reason and Live in venues without AC power so am looking for some cool powerful portable speakers.

I've read online about Sound-Pax which come with a battery powered amp.

Anyone know about these or anything else worth looking at???

Thx

These speakers are multi-directional and don't have much bass response but may work.

I have been looking for an off grid solution myself. So far for non-stereo solutions I have found the fender amp-can and the Crate Taxi amp. There was also a pretty old school one called the Lectrosonics Mouse wedge amp. They are hard to find but sound good. I have used the amp can as well and it sounds decent and lasts several hours.

For Stereo solutions I have been looking at the Fender passport systems which can be bought with the dc kit though it gets kinda spendy.

I haven't had much luck otherwise. The optimal setup for me would be battery powered, stereo, able to play to about 250 people, and not forbidingly expensive.

Thanks for the feedback. If you find anything that fits your needs, let me know. I think I'll spend the 100bucks or so on the KPAX anyway. One of my other demands is that the rig has to fit in one of the saddlebags of my motorcycle.
