This is the first time I have seen it and probably the first time others have unless as Whitedog76 said they saw them in another application.

You will need a high amp output alternator and I'd go for a high capacity battery.

The one that works for our trucks (unless you have a panel or burb or crew cab draws 31 amps and it fits anywhere you can stick a six pack of long necks. Since I am stretching my cab I'd put it behind the seat next to where I am putting the battery and a speaker or two in a box that would be well enough insulated you didn't hear it from inside the cab outside of maybe a low hum.

I'd be inclined to wait a bit and find out what the feedback was though.
