Using inverter power lead for amp
Have an 07 Screw with a 1000 watt inverter installed under the rear passenger seat. I use the inverter on rare occasions, typically to run a blender or something at a Bucs game. I am wanting to install a new audio system, to include 10" subs under the drivers side rear seat. Can I use the 12v power supply that is feeding he inverter to feed the amp? Power is supplied through a 150 amp fuse and 4 ga cable. I would like to just use another 4 ga wire with ring terminal connected at the inverter. If his is a stupid idea, be gentle, it's my first time.

As stated by nyterydrtuckn26ss use a distro block and split off from there. I wouldn't feed the amp from the inverter (+). Most inverters have minimal amp draw at no-load but I would want to know how many amps it draws at load as well as the voltage drop on your electrical system if you ever plan to be mixing up margaritas while jamming to tunes
Worst thing you can do to an amp is starve it for power.
