You battery is around 50Ah, so it can supply 50 amps roughly for an hour on full charge.

This is around 600-650W of power for an hour. So, if you run more than this, and you're maxing your stereo, then prolly about 40 mins before your car won't start....

I've done this before in a carpark when I was waiting for a shop to open (got their at 11am, didn't open til 12am) and I was far from home so wasn't gonna come back...

Was quite embarassing, couldn't even do my windows up
