Hi everybody
I wonder if someone can help me with this,the thing is that my power inverter is 350 watts and my cigarret lighter socket said 120 watts max.Now can I hook this straight to my 12 volt wire (from ignition harnees)or from my hot wire that use to power my amps,or directly to my battery?that's mean run another wire from my battery!what i want is save wires running from my battery you know what I mean.
Thank for any help or tips about this.

a single power inverter 120 watts will work if you are only going to use a ps2 and nothing else.

I am assuming that the rating you see on your cigarret lighter for 120 watts, is based on the lighter's circuit fuse and the wire size used. I would suggest providing a new (fused) circuit using the same guage and rating of the cord that connects the inverter to the cigarett lighter if you are planing to take advantage of all 350 watts.
