Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I want to hook up my play staiton for my kid & myself in my 80 what the best way to get power 240 12v to 240v?

An inverter is the obvious choice. Not sure what power you need though. Id guess that a 1000w inv. should be sufficient. From memory I think they are about $300.

have you looked at what power the ps2 runs on ? making a dc-dc converter may be an option otherwise you will need an inverter.

The preference would be dc-dc because inverters are rather inefficient and can easily drain a battery

1000w fark - that is huge - I am thinking 300-400 would be more than enough - 700w is a 4" grinder

i run my xbox in the patrol has its own little screen made by joytech cost me 200$ it ran easily off an inverter, ill find out what size when dad gets back from allterrain

let me check now on the V but it think you would be best to run a transfomer from 12v to 8.5....

You can buy a playstation 2 car kit.

Its $25 at JBhifi and plugs into your cigarette lighter.

Otherwise a cheap $100 invertor would run it. They dont draw much power.

Yeah but I thought that if you were going to go to the trouble of buying/fitting an inverter he may as well be able to run a few things off it.

I guess it is a bit of overkill though.

i run a Xbox in a patrol with one of the $59 drink can style inverters i think it is 100watt.

Very true - good thinking

Have had a few mates with Xboxes and PS2s in there cars(riceboxes). They just bought a cheap inv. from Jaycar. However all of there cars were broken into. So just be careful and keep it well hidden.
