    I bought one a couple of weeks ago.... I can PM you a link to where I got it for $96 (total)...1500 watt cobra inverter.

    Cant help you with the install kit though...but this place sells the inverters way cheaper than anywhere else I found them.

    You will be cheaper to go to a welding supply and get some heavy welding cable to use for the wiring, or yes you can get it from your buddy at the radio shop. Just be sure to fuse it at the battery to prevent a fire if it shorts out. If your buddy has a radio shop he should know all this info and be able to help you with the install.

    I can't remember how many amps that thing pulls but the package/manual should tell you, just fuse it accordingly. I think a 50Amp is the one you need but don't want to tell you wrong. Yes they use the same type of wiring as a car stereo/amp uses or any other heavy wiring like battery jumper cables, welding cables etc.....
