| Power Inverter
Hey do any of you guys know if hooking up a power inverter to the same line that my amps connect into is bad? I have 0 gauge running to a 4 way splitter, if I were to hook up a power inverter to the splitter would that be ok? I'm looking @ running around 150-300 watts to charge my laptop and external harddrive on the go.

Or you can use a 30 amp relay switched on by ignition to turn the inverter on.

I am sure any of the sponsors here would be able to do that for you.
