Hallo CarPC's otai,

This may not be directly related to CarPC. But somehow it's related a lil bit. OK. I'm planning to put a PC speaker into my car. And I need you guys's opinion as you all already have messed with the inverter stuffs.

The speaker set rating is 500W RMS. The spec stated that power consumption is at 230Vac / 2.5A = 575W . The most wattage DC to AC inverter I can find around here is only 500W. And the continuous power is only 400W. As you may see, it is not sufficient. So I'm planning to buy a 1000W off the Ebay. What say you guys?

May I know if anyone of you all experienced any problem relating to inverter and the car battery before? Like burned up or messed up with the car's wiring, ECU and stuffs like that.

If you just let the car engine running (charge the battery) on with the gadgets plugged on your inverter, there will not be any power failure like battery drainage right?

Thank you in advance.

laptop cannot put PCIE graphic card and PCI cards ...
actually, there is a 1000w inverter available in the market put the size is huge .. and super expensive. industrial grade maa ..  sweat.gif  sweat.gif . the one at ebay i dunno ..last time i used an inverter is around 2003-2004 ..long time edi ..

no . no problem .. but theres one thing tho .. interference. maybe it has to do with the inverter modified square sine wave ? expecially when u hook up the inverter to a audio device. u cant ground the inverter to the chasis .. thats 240v ac my fren .. and last time, the inverter i use kinda drain up the battery very fast.

err. yes ... it not like the alternator charging ur battery in instant. they take time . best way to use an inverter is add another battery, use split charge relay circuit and bigger output alternator ..

thanks for the reply.

yeah, indeed. i've also searched rs malaysia and farnell. all the industrial grade inverter cost more than RM1k. ohmy.gif
ermm, how do you define the interference? like humming noise and distorted sound?
