Summary: Auto amps already include inverters


The original poster requested information on inverters so
that conventional home audio equipment could be used in
the car.  Sure, this can be done but I don't think it
would really be cheaper or work as well.  Audio amplifiers
designed to provide high power levels in automobiles
already include inverters in their design.  Just grabbing
any old inverter and grafting it into a car with a home
amplifier would take a lot of effort to work out all the
problems (size of components and mounting, noise or square
waves, etc.).  And, home type FM receivers are simply not
going to work as well as automobile types.
