yea.. 360's and PS3s suck major power...

you can put your inverter anywhere, but yea.. i'd get one that goes directly to the battery vs. a cig lighter if you're gonna do a setup like that.

i have my psTwo in my glove box with wireless controllers and it works great (used it last weekend along with 3 other screens.. it was fun trip..lol)

i think for the ps3 and the xbox you need like 350w or 400w. i was thinking about doing it and just attaching it to the same line that my amp taps into (4awg directly from the battery) then adding a switch to control it going off and on. then running the power to wherever the ps3 is (yeah its a butt to mount, esp with its req for its airvents... same applies to the 360). but you can easily work off that idea.

This might be the best instance I've seen someone successfully give an answer AND help locate (and suggest) using the search button without sarcasm & insult. Well done!

I have a NES under my passenger seat with the inverter wire-tied to the floor under my driver seat. My inverter has a fan in it so I needed to leave it out to receive the needed air flow.

yeah it's been around for a while but this thread reminded me of it - definitely a lot of work but looks nice.

good luck with your install
