Yes, I’ve figured out a way to turn power upside down. It’s a brand new development in power distribution. Presently we have to use amperage to push power along the wires, but now it’ll just flow downhill like water does!
No, but really, quite a while ago, I picked up a power inverter at a yard sale. This is no ordinary power inverter, no, this is an RV sized one. 1000 Watts maintained, 2000 Watts peak. I got this quite nice piece of equipment for a mere three dollars. This was because the poor man who used to own it, believed that it only put out a measly 97 volts. Unfortunately, that is insufficient for normal usage in this type of scenario. I’ve since then plugged it in, and have found that it puts out a very stable 105, which is a very respectable and very workable number.
So what does this mean? It means that I have a fancy new part to install in my truck. Unfortunately it requires really big cables. Like jumper cable sized ones. It means that I’ll have to run new ones back there instead of just piggy backing off the ones I used for my amp. So, I’ll remove the ones I put in for my amp, and I’ll add the new lines, and piggyback the amp off of those.
Overall I’ll be much happier with that situation. I wasn’t completely happy with my original cabling anyways and this will make me much happier about it.
By the end of this, I’ll have 500 watts of stereo power, and another 1000 watts of AC power available and ready for the tapping all housed within the confines of my truck.
