I'm looking for recommendations on aftermarket power inverters. I saw a few in the search function but not anything that was too recent. Anybody install an after market inverter?
If I were to get one, it'll be the Xantrex™ XPower™ Inverter 1000 - 120 VAC/60 Hz from Costco. Great warranty and priced right. Have not used one, but this one looks good on paper plus it's easy to return Costco items if I don't like it.

I have used Xantrex products and can vouch for their quality. I prefer the slightly more expensive versions of their line under the "ProSine" label. They provide true sine-wave power which if you run sound equipment, computer equipment, or any other sensitive electronic gear, is your best choice. Normal inverters use a stepped modified sine-wave which makes some electronics buzz or work erratically.
Wow, that ProSine costs as much as an Icon stage 1 lift... plus a set of Camburg UCA. Of course, getting a real sine wave out of an inverter requires FM (F'ing Magic), and magic ain't cheap.

Xantrex ProSine are great units, but a little overkill for standard vehicle use (unless you are running an emergency vehicle or RV). I have seen these used alot in home configurations for backup.
Modified sinewave, pure sine wave...blah blah blah...unless you are running a mobile command station with electronics than of course, spend the extra cash for the smooth power. Most items, if either converted to 12dc or simple ac motors (hairdryer, fridge, etc) go modified! Just make sure to take into account peak vs regular ol running output power. Most small converters won't readily output for long as heat and conversion breaks down quickly. consider what you will be using it for most and how often and go from there.
Dang techie snobs
