Wiring up a car sound system at home

[mikey14sr]

I used an old battery charger when I did mine, a little bit of fun watching the amp gauge bouncing around!

thats what im going to use, a 12v car battery using a mains trickle charger.

I'd just use a 240v AC - 12v DC transformer like the type you use for bench testing. Tenner in Maplins. Then again, I wouldn't bother at all .

What are you doing for speaker enclosures, hanging Nova doors on the wall?

[NovaBoi92]

lmfao nova doors on the wall. could do, but im going to wire up my surround sound speakers to the head unit. they are 5 small speakers. should be ok. and do you think its possible to wire up 2 large stereo speakers to the head unit too?

haha pikey but i have a good system already, i just want to use a Subwoofer thats all. something to do aswell, i like doing all this stuff

you might getting a buzzing coming through the sub from interferance from house wiring. my home stereo has a groove button and its loud enough bass for the home.

You can use an old PSU to power everything mate! Got a 600 watt amp wired to it, powering a 1000watt sub. Need to connect a wire into a plug on the psu to convert it to 12v. Then u get a live and a earth cable to power anything.
