Guest Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Go to your local electronics store. You need an inverter to change 6 volts to 12 volts. They come in various outputs. I have used them for over 45 years and have never had a problem with them. At one time I had four different ones installed at the same time because I could not get enough wattage from one so I used a different unit for each of my 12 volt acessories. I have never noticed any buzzing from the units or static on my radios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
