[QUOTE="los33, post: 8696632, member: 660834"] Amps in general for automotive are rated for 12v minimum, so you wiring to a cig lighter with 16 guage wires will see an enormous power issue. What you may think is 100 watts rms will really be near 25-30 watts rms. Cars that come with 220v outlets might be able to handle a large tv, but picking voltage up doesnt require high amperage. You and the people that you talk to might have made it work, but it will be a waste of money for an amp and setup if your gonna go thru the trouble of building a system. [/QUOTE]
