   Dan, the Duetto Generator puts out 29 amps Max. which means the lights, 
heater and wipers will run the battery down when driving in traffic!  Not 
only that, if your Duetto is anywhere as noisy as mine is at 70 MPH, you will 
never hear the radio no matter what kind of stereo and subwoofer you have!
    The Duetto came with a little console thingy with a cigarette ligher in 
it.  But, it gets wired with a 12 to 14 ga. wire carrying 12vdc to the center 
contact and the case gets wired to ground.  Better put an inline fuse if it 
doesn't already have one.
