Power Inverter help
Hey guys,
I am about to put an XBOX and also run my rear camera to the power inverter.
There are so many choices, What wattage should I go with? I have been told 140 is fine, I have also been told that 400w is fine.
What do you guys have and where is the best place to mount it?
Thanks!!

I would buy the best one I could and not worry about price. If down the road you decide that you want to add something else you won't have to worry about it that way. The best mounting location is under the passenger side compartment. You can take out the little plastic tray in the bottom and reach in there. Pleanty of room. You can either wire the inverter to an ignition on only power line or put it directly to the battery and put a switch somewhere. I have seen people put them under the coin holder(ash tray) or in the cup holder compartment in the center console. Both work great but you could put one wherever you want.
If you don't want to spend too much money jsut look on the bottom of your XBOX for power consumption. Take into account everything that will be plugged into it and add the numbers together. Then round up to the next available inverter. 400 should do it.
