The cigarette lighter is the worst thing to use, especially for a 50 watt radio.

The lighter port is usually only rated for 10 amp and a 50 watt radio pulls double that on transmit.

Plus there is a greater chance of getting RFI into your vehicle wiring harness that way.

Your best bet is to run the radio positive lead to the battery and the radio negative to a chassis ground. This is especially true if it is a newer vehicle equipped with the battery management system.
