IDK other than using a jumpstarter type battery pack, how to upconvert the voltage in an efficient manner for portable applications.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Turns out was able to get the battery pack to work have to measure what's volts I get I got cleanest sound hooked up to the DC jack and brightest light so I may find a plug to just hook in there

12 AA batteries will give you 14.4vdc
That looks like a phone charger battery pack which usually only outputs 5vdc.

Do you have part numbers or descriptions of what you're working with?

I thought osiris said it was an 80 watt amp when I bought it.

The specs on the battery pack say 1.35A at 12V, so you will be able to operate the amp but at lower volumes, depending on peak draw.  I normally use battery packs for preamp devices with low power requirements so I can power them cleanly for longer periods of time.
