my inverter is small and only puts out 100 watts. but its all i need to power the small speakers. and by your formula: 100 watts / 12 = 8.33 then mulitplying that by 1.1 = 9.16 amp fuse needed, so basically a 10amp inline fuse is needed before the lighter?

what i dont get is how does this lower the amps? a fuse just breaks when a larger amperage passes through it. so how does the large amperage from the battery convert down to a smaller amperage to not blow all the electrics in the car?

im still in the learning process for car electronics, i been neglecting it for years...
