Need suggestions on power inverter for ps2...
OK I got the screen, radio and playstation hooked up. I go and power up the inverter and all I hear is a buzzing sound from the speakers. The audio works but it is distorted like crazy. I put the converter on the passanger side near the speaker. Is that what is causiing my problem. Is the location of the power effect the audio? Do I need a filter or to just relocate? Here Is what I have hookep up. Alpine 9851 I think, PS2 and farenheit 7001 screen. Help me get rid of the distortion.

Most likely its the inverter. I'm having the same issue powering my cpu. A good test is run an extension cord to your car and hook up the playstation to regular power. No Buzz... then you've found the problem. I've heard some inverters are better than others. I've heard that the Coleman product is excellent - No buzz.

walk into radio shack and tell them i need a 10amp power filter to be used in a car. its like $15. the cig ligher isnt a great place to tap into. there are a bunch of other circuits running off it and you will end up with a lot of noise and interference. run it straight off the battery and make sure you have use a thick ground wire grounded to good spot on the car.
and inveter with some sort of noise filtration is another good way. spend the extra bucks on a good inverter.
