    What are you looking to power? If you go too much, 1. The Gardai will tell you where to go and 2. People walking by will be annoyed instead of entertained. Name suggests your a bassist. Thats always hard for busking unless you have an acoustic bass as all street amps tend not to sound very good for bass. Either way, dont go too far on amplification. If you amplify 2 guitars, bass and vocal you will be moved on pretty quick.
