Hey fellas, just a few quick and easy questions. Im going to be installing a TV, DVD player, and a nintendo gamecube in my car soon. The TV, and DVD player are both car audio stuff, so thats going to be running off the standard car feeds. I was wondering though, how much current the power inverter draws? I'm thinking about a 3-4 hundred watt inverter. Nothing major, just enough to power the game cube. Also, how much current would the TV and DVD Player draw? I need to know so I can figure out how big of an alternator to get. thanks.

i dunno, this has been up for a few days, but i'm gonna just assume its gonna be the same as everything else. 300 watts, 30 amps max. 350, 35 amps, etc. Unless anyone out there has something to add to this, i'll just use that as my answer.
