i was just wondering whats the best way to power an xbox 360 dvd player or nintendo wii in the mini cooper..
thnx

 

Amplifier??? I don't know. check the show me your subs forum there are a few guys with tv's and game systems in there.

 

In theory all you need is a power inverter ($50)

 

How are you going to Wii and motor at the same time?

 

hahahahahaha

 

50 bucks ay? i just thought the 360 will use alot of juice maybe..? and how am i goin to wii? well.. you dont need to connect the sensor bar if you have the classic controller and all you are going to play is downloaded nes, snes and n64 games.. you navigate the main menu of the wii with the analog stick on the classic controller and play the game with it as well. so i dont need room for swinging that wiimote around the cockpit and i can easily place my wii in the boot..

 

the 360 uses alot of juice. I have several Inverters but they were giving me a low voltage warning with in 10 mins of running the xbox 360 on a fully charged battery(motor not running). The same battery ran a TV and original XBOX for 5 hours with no warnings with the Same inverter (400 watt). So i don't know yet the best way to do the 360 but im working on it.

 

thnx mugami... well for now the best way to run the 360 would probably be with the car running huh?

 

For the Wii you can simply purchase a car adapter:

As for the Xbox 360, I believe the only way to power it would be with a Power Inverter. Probably at least a 150 watt but a 300watt would likely have less hiccups.

 

wow. the wii adapter makes everything so easy.. thanks for the link.. cheap too! ill probably go the wii route for now

 

No problem. The Wii is much smaller too so it should be easier to fit in a MINI. Just don't hit your passenger playing Wii Tennis.
