power for head unit

[wisewood]

Righty ho...
Some of you if not all may think this is madness - but still...

I have a spare cd head unit (or rather i will have quite soon) and as i have no radio in my office at work i am gonna build a box to house the head unit and maybe a 6x9 in there too.

Question is, how can i power it from the mains under my desk ??



the name is misleading - because i am not called wisewood.

get a transformer to 12V and make a power supply with full rectification and then wire it all to the headunit


Im a Corporate tart :D

[wisewood]

could you dumb that down a little for me ??

you need full wave rectificaton. this converts the power supply to DC from AC simple thiing to do using 4 diodes. basically so which ever way the ac current is flowing, by using the diodes the current will only flow one way.

[wisewood]

again - made little sense.
couldn't make it a bit more explanatory for me could you?

just go into an electronics shop and they will be able to sort it out. just tell em you need full wave-rectum-satisfaction like ben and cambo says.

[wisewood]

aint no way i am walking into anywhere and saying i need rectal satisfaction... nice try though mate.
