<DIV><BR></DIV>It sounds like you want an AC system for your "home theater"
system, so make sure you get a mobile rated inverter if you plan to have a
backup AC source. That way you will have integral neutral-ground bond
switching. The mobile versions are rarely much more $, if at all. Try Magnum
or Outback. <BR><BR>And make sure you plan for a satellite dish so you can
pick up curling matches. <BR><BR>Jason Szumlanski<BR><BR>On Aug 9, 2011, at
