I have recently installed a kenwood dvd deck in my car and iam going to but a 19" Lcd monitor in the back, with an xbox. i would like to know if yhou guys are just using power invertors and are also adding an extra battery(deep cycle) to help with the power/. what have you guys done I would love to know?

For the over head you should be able to drop a constant hot or switch hot from the radio harness. You dont need a extra battery for running the power inverter but make sure that your have a big enough inverter to run the xbox...good luck and post plenty of pics of the work.

oh my bad...like I said...you dont need another battery...all you need is a power inverter that can handle the screen and xbox...something around 400 watts or more would be good.

Just make sure to get an inverter to handle the wattage output and you will be good as mentioned. I have a 21" TV on an inverter with no problems.
