      @@aldobiglari4575 it doesn't work that way. The old stereo is too stupid to know what to do with a USB connection, and there is no way, relatively speaking, to make it smarter.

    Man you make a great tutorial video! You should keep doing more video with this much depth of detail and explaining. It helps a lot. You should do this idea but using the same concept of using a old bluetooth speaker to add this to a portable speaker that doesn't have bluetooth but already has a battery. So basically you'd be adding bluetooth to the portable speaker and hooking it up to the already existing battery from the speaker so all gets charged at the same time. This is what I'm trying to do and why I found your video lol So if you have time to try this I'd be super happy to see this cuz I'm stumped lol

But the thing thumps louder than any Bluetooth speaker on the market, so if anyone knows how, or has a link for a videonfor that, I'd appreciate it

I give you props for the vid though, good job. So as not to be "THAT GUY", just solder or use a female multi pin connector to run a 4.7uf or 10uf capacitor between the + and -.

      Honestly this video is more of an experiment just to see if it works, which it does just not very well because a 3.5mm or RCA input requires a small amount of filtering. If the output is coming from a bypassed speaker there is no filtering. That's why I suggested using a capacitor in parallel between the+ and -. If you are thinking about doing this, just buy a Bluetooth receiver. They're cheap and will do exactly what's in this video without complications. 🤷👍

    I've done this, tho you may need a bigger battery because the stock battery is made to power a small 8watt speaker at most, so with even hooking it to a system of any sort that requires more power input can bring that battery life from 4hours of play time, down to 10min play time. (From personal experience only, I would wish some people to read this before ruining a speaker without knowing the cons
