[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7366127, member: 576029"] run the rear 6x8 off the head unit. disconnect factory 8" new wiring to the new flip-down. you should have a new, strong battery. and do the Big 3. you need tools. soldering iron and heat shrink for connections is superior to crimp. no wrap and tape connections. wire loom keeps wiring tidy and protected - just like OEM. when in doubt, do it like OEM. i don't put power wire under sill panels. i pull seats and carpet and route it in the corner edge of the floor. if the monitor is on the ceiling, the mount won't line up and you'll have an issue securing it to the roof. if that is the case, the headliner cannot support the new monitor. i would silicone some plywood to the roof for mounting the monitor - but the silicone will need a week to cure fully and will stink during that time. the inverter can cause noise on the electrical system. i would give that a completely separate power run up to the battery (separately fused) and ground in a separate location as well. basically, keep it away from your amps. since it is 110V, it can electrocute you. i wouldn't put it under a seat and i would have a toggle switch or means of easily turning off the inverter when not in use so the fan noise and power draw is eliminated.
