Re: inverter, what's the highest amount?

That would depend on if you want the battery charged at the same time. keep in mind that the full current from an alternator is only available above about 2000 RPM. The inverter actually is running...

Re: stereo problem

Re: how exactly would you hook this up and how much power would be prdcd

two 4 ohm speakers in parallel would be 2 ohms for a load the amp will produce 500 watts at that impedance (that would be both speaker + leads and - leads tied together), assuming 90% efficiency you...

Re: AM not working

Probably the first RF amplifier in the am receiver circuit has been blown. This can be caused by static electricity generated by the vehicle passing through the air.

It happens all the time....

Re: I have no idea (Speaker squeal)

Alternator whine is usually caused by ground loops or poor grounding at the source device (the deck). it can also be induced through the RCA leads shielding when the cables are run in parallel to...
