Help wireing two LCD TVs
I have added two 5 inch LCD screens, one in the front mounted on the dash and one mounted to the back of the overhead console. I also need to add the FM modulator that lets me play DVD, VCR, or video game sound over the stock radio. All three of these items use very little power to operate, where should I get the power from? In the overhead and in the dash behind the radio what wires should I splice into? Or should I run new wires from the fuse box and if so how hard would that be? It is a 98 Expy with the rear heat and a/c. The FM modulator has a 5 amp fuse and the screens are low 5 watts each. I already added a 750/1500-watt Power Inverter that I ran straight to the firewall. I am going slowly and it looks real clean but I think I am ready to get it done this weekend. Also should I also post this in the Electrical Systems/Wiring or the Audio Systems forum as there may be more people that read that forum that could help. Thanks in advance for the help.

Although seemingly the long route, I would have to strongly suggest home running everything off of a power source such as available positions in the fuse panel, or maybe even install a new AV power block with fuses so that everything can be electrically isolated and fused independantly. No telling what may happen if you splice into the wrong circuit later down the road . . .
