I have a Power Cube and it is robust. I've tried with limited success to use it as a base station unit, but the power supply requirements can be an issue. I have been using a 50 amp continuous, 70 amp unit peak with limited success, but a 90 amp peak is recommended. I will eventually try to rig it for my mobile operation and that, in my estimation, is going to require another battery, and the closer that battery is to the amp, the better.

Here's a link that does a very good job of detailing mobile installations for the Power Cube:

By the way, the Power Cube is a lot of bucks for 500 watts, but it is built like a tank.
