This work, you can listen to music with it . But when you icrease the volume it will distort not having enough power. Bro use a 12v carbattery charger or power supply for computer.
I was thinking of running some car amp for my room and using Xbox 360 far power box to run it as a power since it's 600w max amp probably gonna use 2 TV speakers and a 500w max woofer w it
@landenferringer977 You would have to read the manual with the amplifier you want to use, see what it's rated for. If it's a car amp I doubt it's a good idea. Cars don't really produce voltages much above 14 volts.
@@NickPangburn quick question do you think you could plug in a 2000watt amp into a house outlet im thinking about doing that with an 18 inch skar I need to know if its possible to get 2k watts out of an outlet
@@infodisco4097 It depends. Most U.S. outlets are 120v ac @ 60hz, but I would buy a multimeter to test it to make sure. It could otherwise be 110v ac @ 50hz or 220/240v ac which is uncommon except for specifically the outlet for washers and dryer's. The next step would be to check which breaker in your breaker box the outlet is on. You also need to know what other devices are running on the same breaker. As far as I know breakers are usually between 15a, 20a, or 40a ("a" meaning Amperage, or amps). So wattage is (volts(v) x amps(a) = wattage(w)). So a normal outlet is 120v x 20a = 2400w. BUT WAIT! One big issue here is amps run on DC, or direct current vs what your outlet supplies, AC or Alternating current, which is why I listed the frequencies 50hz/60hz. You have to convert between the 2 to make everything work. To go from AC to DC you need a full bridge rectifier. I would not recommend building one at home. Instead to get around doing that I think most people buy computer power supplies, which will provide about 600 watts of output with a good power supply unit. The subwoofers I have in my car are 800 watts continuous DC, and they're very much enough for the car, they can shake my house from the basement on a low setting. Honestly I would either buy a computer power supply and watch a tutorial on which wires to use, or buy a wall outlet powered amp. If you want to use the full 2000 watts, you will need 1 or 2 12v DEEP CYCLE flooded lead acid batteries. Then for those you need to buy a wall outlet powered battery tender/charger. It will allow you to run the subwoofers for at least a couple hours before having to charge them again. There is so much I could talk about but I recommend just looking for videos more specific to your needs. The cable I have in the video I stole from one of those calculators that print receipts. If I remember right it only provides 5 watts of power.
It shouldn’t matter as long as both connections remain true from amp for eg to the speaker. The colours and lines are there to make things easier. The + and - is all internal and not to do with the wire.
@@NickPangburn if you put your speaker in backwards youll have more room in your enclosure. Then you can wire it backwards to make the cone hit right. Some amps have a 180 phase switch.
Hey here's a better test for you: wire the two prongs of an extension cord to the two terminals on your speaker. The wall outlet will give you a solid 60 hz. signal to your speaker. Just plug the speaker into the wall with the extension cord and enjoy.
Nice . I need a little help plz. I've got a car amplifier and want to install it in the house with a inverter with about 50 a . but not sure whether it has to be the same wattage as the amplifier. Or can be any wattage 500-1000 maybe .my amp is a 4500.1 1000 RMS . what must be the wattage of the inverter
Well there is one major issue with what you want to do. An inverter converts Direct Current (DC) into Alternating Current (AC). Your house provides AC through every outlet, and a car battery where the car amp is intended to be used provides DC. To go from AC to DC you need a full-bridge rectifier. And a car amp needs between 12 and 17 volts, Volts multiplied by amperage gives you wattage. I think your best bet would be to buy a computer power supply that will convert AC to DC, you use specific wires which you will have to look up a video for, and maybe buy a car amp capacitor to throw between the 2 so it doesnt struggle for power. Your other option is to buy an amplifier that is intended to be used inside a house, they make some pretty powerful home amplifiers. The last option is to buy some deep cycle lead acid batteries, and when they're not in use put them on a trickle charger. Just be careful with that because they will give off hydrogen gas which is combustible if there is enough present. And by the way as long as you're within the wattage range you do not have to provide the full amount of power to reach maximum wattage with that amp. 1000w+ RMS is way more than what's needed in a household. My car is running 800 watts rms and it is damaging certain parts in my car which is certainly not something you want to do to your house. If you have anymore questions lmk I can provide links or give advice on whatever
The remote wire to turn on the amp can be very very short and a low gauge, all you have to do is run a small wire from the positive input on the amp to the remote wire connection. To turn it off all you have to do is take the wire out.
@@thicc_daddy_chris8768 Are you using batteries or a plug? Also, what amperage is it capable of outputting? If it's a 9v battery you will need more than one. Also, if you are using batteries DO NOT hook them up in series, that increases voltage. Hooking them up in parallel will increase amperage which will allow your amp to output more power to your sub/speaker.
Probably, 500mAh is virtually nothing. I recommend buying a deep cycle 12v battery for a car/boat/etc. All deep cycle means is that it can be fully discharged and recharged many times. A regular car battery is not meant to be discharged significantly and can destroy the battery in just a couple of cycles
You know people like me are looking for a video like this to figure out how to do it and you did not explain nothing at all when you were hooking that power cord up so it's pretty much pointless of you doing this video you didn't explain nothing
All these negative comments,....jeez, he's just messing around. Take it easy!
Unless it's rude, the criticism is due. Anybody copying this "messing around" video is going to damage their car stereo.
Bull got it sitting on the carpet smh 🤣🤣🤣. Call the fire Marshall 🤣🤣
Lmfao
Most amps will be fine if hooked up correctly but hooked up like that yea probably should put it on sum less flammable

or xbox 360/one cord, i use a power supply tho
@@fade7663Xbox 360 still doesn’t have a lot of power it would be fine for speakers but high power subs def need sum more powerful
@@KingRodrick yeah i got a hp psu 1200w 100a
Where do you connect the battery wire when wiring to 6v plug
12V 30amp power supply with cooling fan. The best.
Computer psu are often mistaken for trash
its 10 amps acording to the fuse
You need 14 volts like when your car is running and charging the battery. Those big amplifiers are thirsty!
An amp can run on 12volts. 14volts is just battery charge. Some people often use 16volts or 19volts.
Where dose the remote turn on wire go
You just jump it to from the power/battery terminal to the remote
The wire with the line dash tends to be the ( - ) negative
Thank you I'm not the only one that caught that😅
Next time use 4ohms or less that's what that amp is for
Whyyy
@@1oneguythatit will in theory double the output! 4 ohms versus 8 ohms = less impedance and more volume.
You can tell by the hesitation in his hands that he has been shocked a time or ten.....lmao.
you dont understand amps? your connecting the garden hose to use a firehose, get it? 😯
whats that puny sub XD
6 volts 300 mA will definitely not do the job. It's a 12 volt DC amplifier , you probably need a minimum of 1 amp
I was thinking of running some car amp for my room and using Xbox 360 far power box to run it as a power since it's 600w max amp probably gonna use 2 TV speakers and a 500w max woofer w it
Like where did you run the negative to how did you ground your ground like SMH
It is disapointing sound from a charger directly into car amp, i revomend car battery and a charger that charges the battery
If you get an Xbox cord with the Box on it you can wire up some good voltage to that amp I seen it done many times
Not wired in mono🤦🏻♂️
Were do you put the ground and rem
Shouldn’t need remote can go into the positive
Need to change to LP for bass only
What do u do with the black wire
@Sifer 360 no, not always.
Would a 19v charger work with it?
@landenferringer977 You would have to read the manual with the amplifier you want to use, see what it's rated for. If it's a car amp I doubt it's a good idea. Cars don't really produce voltages much above 14 volts.
I've never seen a 15 watt speaker

I just did it so you could hear the vibration, give you an idea of the subwoofers excursion. It's very hard to see on a camera
