PS4 + Inverter + Monitor

The setup

Power inverter mounted in the trunk. PS4 Slim on top of it. Monitor mounted to the rear headrest area. Clean enough to not look insane. Barely.

What it took

  • 1000W modified sine wave inverter wired directly to the battery
  • 12 AWG ring terminals, inline fuse, proper grounding
  • Monitor cable managed through the C-pillar trim
  • PS4 Slim — chosen for lower heat output and smaller footprint vs the original

Reality check

It works. At idle the alternator handles the load without issue. The interior ambient lighting hits different with the monitor going in the back.

Not a daily thing. Obviously don’t drive with this running.
