August 3, 200718 yr Has anyone used the 1 to 3 12 volt adapters in their Subies? Are there any issues or hazards? I would just need to run a GPS and iPod or XM radio. Thanx in advance.
August 3, 200718 yr I've run a 1 to 2 adapter. There's no risk of overloading the vehicle's outlet since that is fused. The three devices you mentioned are not power hogs anyway so it shouldn't be an issue. Also there is a Subaru accessory you can get that I think gives you two more outlets. I think maybe nipper has one installed? It kind of mounts where the ashtray is I think
August 3, 200718 yr I have the factory kit that replaces the ashtray with two more (higher amp) outlets. One of the online suppliers will have it. nipper
August 4, 200718 yr I was thinking the same. Want to put my GPS on there and a small coolbox (75W). I thought it holds a 10A fuse so that around 6.25A for the coolbox and 2.4A for the GPS (at max output). Is it not bad to continiuous have about 8 to 9 amp load on the wiring? I also have a penlite charter but that takes 5A so either GPS + charger or GPS + coolbox i guess.
August 4, 200718 yr The kit comes with a factory harness, a relay, and a heavy fused line. It was built by subaru to literally clip right into the car. Your not going to hurt anything. nipper
August 4, 200718 yr nipper you happen to have a part number or something? tried the subie parts sites i know and nothing comes up for it..
