Default Power converter question!

I am needing to power a small widescreen and gaming system in my hatch.
What power converters are the best and what ones can avoid using a cig lighter plug it? Also if you could point me in the direction to buy said items.

Thanx!

Look at this link, which I blogged in. You will pick up addtional info on what you may need for your install.

Also, most of the inexpensive inverters that I seen hook up to a cigarette lighter for power. You don't necessarily need to run it off your front stock cig lighter. You can go to the auto parts store buy a cig plug outlet with cap cover and a fuse holder. Example: I tapped the cig outlet off my amp power wires in the rear. But be sure you install that fuse holder with a 30amp plus fuse depending on the power inverter wattage

I recently replaced my cheap inverter with a Monster inverter(hard wire only) with a blue remote wire. I tapped my blue remote wire to my rear amp blue remote wire. LOL
Good Luck
