Xbox/Flip Down TV/FM Modulator - How do you wire easily?

[WOT]

So I bought a 15" TKO flip down tv off ebay since the one that came with my car is ****. Its already wired in my car but it was all done wrong so its all coming out, and being rewired for new equipment.

Now ID love for some help on how to wire this ENTIRE thing, as I have zero clue as to where to start the the equipment is on the way. I'll start by saying my components are being run by an external amplifier. So I dont currently have speakers to run the fm modulator through. But I can always throw some 6.5's cadence speakers in the rear doors and wire them off the Headunit to get them to play.

What all is involved in wiring a tv? and how exactly do you get an xbox to run? I was thinking the xbox would be pretty simple as I have a cig lighter port in the back (assuming that it works ive never tried it) and they probly make an adapater to go from cig lighter to regular household 115V 3 prong plug right? That gives the xbox power, then Id just have to run a couple wires to the tv and voila thats working?

Wiring the tv and getting it to play through the speakers and wiring the fm modulator is probably more of a concern to me

Thanks guys, any help appreciated.

Ok. Start simple. Your tv is going to require power and ground. Most likely get power in the ignition harness. Directions will tell you if you need constant 12v, accessory 12 or both. Than ground in kick panel.

Fm mod is power and ground hooked up behind radio. Plugs into antenna on back of deck. Unless its wireless in which case its you dont plug it in the antenna but those usually induce noise.

You will need a power inverter for the xbox. Im not sure how big but I usually dont recommend anything under 500 watts.

500 watts for JUST an xbox? I seen those power invertors at the store, basically was just a power and ground from the battery and it gave you 2 plugs, but the unit itself was pretty big and I think it was only a 300 watt! think they were like 60 bucks to, was hoping there was a way to power it from a cig lighter port
