Wiring Question: Halo Turret w/ loud sound

[desolate]

I dont know if you guys have seen my turret on here or not.. But i am looking at upgrading it to having sound. i want it to be really loud so it has more of an affect on the crowd.. here is what i have

A rockford amplifier and a clarion equalizer both of which i intend to hooking to a car battery. I also intend on buying a sub woofer

here is the turret..

I plan on machining some triangular pieces so it will have a pyramid base and i can mount the sub and car battery.. it will also look like it is more so mounted to the ground.. I want to make it were i can push a trigger and make the turret noise.. I am not familiar with how to do this.. so any assistance would be greatly appreciated..

What would your sound source be? (Sorry if it's in the pictures, photobucket is blocked at work)

You could have a continuous loop of the sound playing and have a normally open momentary switch/button sit between the sound source and the amp. That way you're not injecting/interrupting too much current, though the amp would still need to be powered full time.

Just one way to do it, I'm sure there are many.

i have a iphone i could use for a source.. but i dont know if there is a better approach.. i like the idea of getting a constant sound and making it on a switch..

Ok that could work, you'd want to get a cable that has a headphone connection on one end and RCA connector on the other side and then put the switch on that. This way you're not fussing with trying to get the iPhone playing at the right time.
