The batteries are 8 volt, 6 make 48V, but an inverter only runs off a 12V source.

What the H.

I have lights and horn, so it seems like there would already be a reducer in the system somewhere. I assume those are 12V systems.

2012 Club Car Precedent.

Thoughts. I need this tonight, so solutions need to be something I can get from Walmart or Lowes.

I do have one of those. 10 D batteries.

The 300W powered speaker sounds a helluva lot better.

Do you have a copy of Old Town Road. That should be your first step

This.

I could have led a charity fun-run in my Barbie Corvette with my boom box playing Chattahoochee on tape just fine.

People will appreciate simplicity.

I hate people who play loud music (particularly rap) on the golf course.

The battery’s are hooked in “series” to get to 48V. Pos neg pos neg.....
See if you can split the bank int 24v section and then To 12v. Long shot. Check your speaker it make take up to 24 v. How many cells per battery.? 2volts per cell.

Option 1 - Add a 12 volt battery (from Walmart) to the cart.

Option 2 - Buy a harmonica, spoons, a wash board and a jaw harp and hire a jug band to provide entertainment.

you can pluck 16V off of the 6 batteries in series by connecting between 2 batteries

16V is a bit high for 12V equipment, but in a car it does operate around 14V with the alternator running. You can try it
