12v 4.0a input. How about car battery?

Hi,

I have Actineon Silent 7LP2 pc which need 12v 4.0a as it written. I want to connect it to my car battery which is 12v. I am aware of 4.0a, as I am not expert at all in this field.

Is it ok to connect it directly, or no?

Regards

As the car battery is used up, the voltage will drop.  This may cause problems with the PC.

If you are fitting it inside the car, I think you should consult a car audio specialist, as there may be power spikes generated when the car starts that could cause damage.  

Why do you want to use the battery, please?  There may be alternative options...

My car is Mercedes 320i 1995
If it's not a diesel, it should have an open relay socket and at least 2 spare fuse terminals in the fuse box on the right-hand side (from the driver's seat) of the engine compartment.

But... are you sure it's not an E320?
320i sounds like a beemer model.

There should be a fuse box under the right-rear seat, too.
