Thanks for the help.
What I want to do is install a 12volt AM/FM/CD/DVD head unit in my 5th wheelRV. I would like it to have surround sound capability for DVD play back. think home theater, only 12 volt.
power I've got--4 6V batts and 600 watts of solar
I need ideas for:
head units
surround processors, if needed
amps, if needed
will it work with a 32in TV?
speakers, poweRED / not powered
not even sure what questions to ask, just know what I want.
thanks for thinking outside the box

The solar is just for charging, water heating? Is that the existing power setup on the 5th wh. Does it have any AC conversion currently?-(can you plug in a toaster)?
I dont know whats better...
Converting power to 120v and using a home audio/video player..
or
Purchasing the necessary devices in 12v electronics
I am sure that either way there will need to be a upgrade to the electrical, for both charging/generating and storage.
I would ball park that it would be a lot more expensive to use the 12V electronics route...
This is what I do for FUN!

Get a converter to 110V and get all home theater grade equipment. It's cheaper than going the 12volt route and no need to worry about EMI as much when working with 110V

I already have a 2000 watt inverter.
I just don't like having to turn the inverter on when I want to listen to the radio. or have to go through the whole setup menu every time I want to watch a movie because the the unit defaults every time the power is turned off.
I was hoping someone on here could help me design a system.
hoping someone here would think outside the box
think mobile theater high speed
