There is no point using D-batteries, when you have Li-Po's in the market. Those are lightweight and give helluva lot of amps! Whats needed, is a voltage meter or a warning buzzer for the low voltage. And a decent charger.
I ran my Crown with a 11.1V battery. It should have 9 x D cells & 13,5V but the lights didn't even dim with maximum output. The volume was a tiny bit lower due to lower voltage and thereby maybe "few" missing watts, but the amperage kept the thing blasting.
I think 14.8V Li-Po pack should be the perfect choice. Something like THIS will keep you playing all night long! Weighs just 552 grams, when a single D-cell should be about 120-200g(?)
EDIT: Also, a D-cell should have a diameter of 33mm and that battery pack measures 147 x 49 x 33mm.

Hey man, what's up with the mod? Did you get anywhere on the build inside, yet? I so want to do a LED mod for it....

Damn! That's such an organised and tidy looking workspace, 
my electronics bench has bits of car mixed in with bits of radio and consequently, I can never find bits of either when they're needed.

See. That's your problem in a nut-shell. Sorry if I offend but I want to give you some advice on that. I've done 11 custom LED jobs in the last 2 years & also had a few others restorations in the mix....All are finished....WHY?
I have 1 rule...do NOT start another project before you finish your last one, period. My uncle was horrible for taking on projects, 1 after the other & finishing none of them....eventually my aunt kicked his butt & made him throw out all the junk piling up to be fixed 'some day'. It was becoming a hoarder's nest of broken TV's, stereo's. washing machines & other salvation army rejects but my uncle Jim just couidn't stay the course on any 1 thing.
Anyways, amazing work, as always & can't wait to see the RIKER flat black, the 4 woofer super tandem & especially the CANDY CONION A.K.A. PEZ POUNDER!!
Cheers,
Cpl
