I'm using this https://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=071-580&ctab=5&#ctabanc to power an lcd and dvd player. Can I put the two lcd and dvd power cables together into one fuse tap or should each power cable have its own tap? I'm tapping the cig... thanks

Will this power source be sufficient for the two items? thanks

how much current do all units draw? Say on my car the fuse for the cig lighter is a 15 A, SO..if the total does not draw 15 Amps then your good. I would just use say a 12gauge wire or whatever.

OH and i am using one of these to power my dvd player and neons.

It should be fine for a monitor and dvd player. But my question is why when you could basically do the same thing, but better, and fuse everything individually for less then a dollar?
