• Large heatsinks to prevent thermal overload

So, that should be less than one amp of current draw by my math. Does anybody disagree? That being the case, you could easily run several montors off a smaller gage wire with minimal fusing. A five amp fuse should be adequate for even 5 monitors. As for wire size, You could safely use what ever small gage speaker wire you have laying around to extend your power wires as far as you needed to.

This is all th info I could get on the moniters
Operating Temperature 0°~60°C
-Operating Humidity 20%~85%
-Operating Voltage DC+12V
-Power Consumption <10W

yea i dont know off the top of my head but they dont need much.....

I was trying to find the current draw of a headrest monitor. No luck. But I can't imagine it's very much. You could probably run several off a 16 awg wire with a 5 amp fuse and not have problems. It would be pretty easy to figure out if I knew what their current draw was.

man you could easily run two headrest monitors off of one 12 guage wire.....we install video all the time and there is nothing at all wrong with overkill and i prefer to err on the side of caution but for monitors there has to be a better way....some cars will have a supply wire coming in for the fuse box that is sometimes o-ringed to a stud.....you can then o-ring your power wire right on to that.....monitors dont draw much juice at all so unless ive missed something....thats my 2 cents worth anyway...

Ok. Whoever it was that put lift blocks on the front axle is an idiot. If you are remotely into 4 wheeling, you know that lift blocks SUCK!

This will give you an idea of what's on the page.

pretty nasty huh? I googled that stuff. I found a website once for scary sterring setups on lifted trucks. That was hillarious.

This is it. It'd down right now, but damn well worth checking out later.

hmm fire anyone?
