Default bass amp to sbuwoofer conversion....is it possible?

i wanna turn my 250 peavy bass amp with a 15 inch horn into a subwoofer. that part is easy, but id like to leave the amplifier, eq and inputs intact somewhere in the car and with a swtich, change the subwoofer back into the amp, the idea would be so i could pull over, pop the trunk and play my guitar wherever i go....im not really asking how to do it, just wondering if anyone else has doen sotmhign similar or if you guys think its a cool idea or a waste of time.

It's probably a good idea except for one detail... making a 12volt power supply.

A friend of mine did this, and it came in handy when we'd go camping.

2 hangups.

1. There is no such thing as a good sounding free-air subwoofer

2. Unless you spend $600 on an industrial inverter for an RV, you will just keep burning out the cheap ones. Those $20 ones only kick out about 100 solid watts.
