Northern I'll only idle in use to not dmg my ps4.. as for the amps on alternator I'll check to try and not exceed them. either way I'll post pics of how I do in a week here

Then you will miss me entirely.
My behind isn't that big, and I am not in a fake truck day cab.
(Ya, my daughter calls day cabs fake trucks, because they don't have a sleeper.) -
A PS4 uses 150 watts while gaming, most LCD tvs are under 100 watts.
That inverter should have handled it. Either one of them does not like a modified sine-wave inverter, or your wiring isn't getting enough power to the inverter.
You'll definitely need to run the truck while gaming or your batteries will be dead in about two hours. -
A month ago you went 2 days without eating because you didn't have any money,
Go back and read your post about trying to get a $25 cash advance.
Nevermind -
Yep and I stayed out for 2 months on the trip I wrote that on.. now my girl keeps me stocked on snacks and I have 6 grand in the bank 5500 she deposited lol so basically trucking don't pay and I'll be ###### if i can't at least play some games for 70 hours Mc Donalds pay. But thanks for lookin me up. If you stalk harder you can maybe get my Facebook too..

Yah while gaming ps4 is under 150 but still only thing I can assume is its not enough surface being touched by gator clips maybe.. I'm gonna go to a car audio place on off time see if maybe it's not a #### inverter.. if its the clips I'll go with 12v connection from it to truck replacing fuse to a larger one to allow more than 100 through cig lighter.. I know another guy using 360 and tv this way.. idk I'll figure it out though. It's not sine they both work without the other also plugged in.

so you care about damaging the ps4 but not the truck?
...or your DAC after this jimmy rigged #### goes up in smoke.
450w inverters are the cheap crap they sell at wally world to charge your phone on not run an entertainment center -
Now now Tucker... don't feed the trolls. Besides, the OP is eventually going to set his truck on fire with the setup he described. I'm sorry I made any attempt to help this guy out. I see a "gee my truck burned down and I need a new job" post in the near future.tucker Thanks this.

OMG such great minds we have on the road.
The problem is the inverter, nothing else. It is cheap and not even a modified sine wave but a garbage wave inverter. With the TV coming in at a max of 150 watts, the PS4 averages 130 watts (150 with some games), plus the 4% increase in start up current on each (averaged out), the inverter should be just happy. I am guessing that it is throwing out so much garbage on the output when it is under load that they can't handle it.
Someone so inclined to throw together a setup that can start a good fire should listen to the critics.
