do any of you have a game system in the car..?
i got one for free and wanted to hook it up in the car and i got thecoverter but the system goes on for about a minute then turns off...

what could it be?
the car not having enough power to keep it on or is there a problem with theconvertingthing?

any suggestions?

 

So long as the car is starting/running you have more than enough power to power a game console + small TV.

Is the converter rated to enough power for what your trying to do? It might just be overloading the converter.

Check out the watt rating on the converter, and then see how many watts/amps the things your trying to run require... your probably over the limit.

 

Man i know this guy with a supercharged Roush stage 2 with an X box and a play station in his car. Plus he has head rest moniters, in dash moniter, and a flip down screen. Plus he's got 2-12" subs and 2- 1000 watt amps! Thats too much! Put that shiit in your Suburban! Its not meant for mustangs! But it was pretty damn cool cruising and watching star wars!

 

I brought with an X-box and TV on my last long road trip to pass the time when the wife was driving. I ended up having to get a converter rated at 2x the load it said it could handle to prevent it from overloading or overheating. I went with a 750W converter (about $75) and it worked great.

I think the x-box uses much more power than some other systems, too.

 

no i just want to put the system in there cuz there is nothing to do at night sometimes so why not play a video game... lol
yea i thought about that but does anyone know the exact watt converter i need so i can buy it..?

 

HAhaha..

 

Do you live in your car?

 

lol do you not own a house and a tv? haha Just play games there when you're bored at night

 

You my friend are6 seconds too SLOW...
