hey im thinking about putting my expressa in my car and have 8 gigs of mp3's...i already have the screen and amp in, so i can play dreamcast...does anyone know where i can get a pure sine power inverter for cheap? or how to directly connect the computer to my car? any other ideas or thoughts would be great.

how much power r u lookin to get out of the inverter? my thought is that the power inverter would be the best way to go.

power doesnt matter really...its the fact that it has to be pure sine, or else i will get an unclean signal noise comming from the alt...in otherwords, when i hooked up my dvd player, i got a really annoying loud high pitched buzz no matter what...a pure sine filters out any noise from the 12v source.

the sound is coming from your ignition not your alternator... but yes it does travel through the 12v source...
