Try wiring your inverter directly to your battery.  I'm in the process of
wiring an inverter to an auxilary battery, and have installed and electrical
box with outlets in the top wall of the cabinets over the water tank,
between the two doors.  This gives me two outlets instead of  the one on the
inverter, and the inverter is stashed in the cabinet over the water tank,
with its outlet available if I need it.

Clarification: I meant without using batteries in the radio/tape/cd
boom-box. In other words, just like plugging it into the wall socket
at home. The power inverter uses the battery power of the vehicle and
converts it into ac power with a regular socket.
