Nice, simple to follow. I really like your reusing a simple adapter that not many people would think of. Lots of folks are pulling apart pc power supplies and you’ve shown you really don’t need to. Great video, thx.
Love this DIY project! Turn your old car radio into a functional speaker system for your home or garage. Perfect for tailgaters and outdoor events. Thanks for sharing!
I have been setting up a system like this for my garage using a old set of house speakers a early 80’s Chevy suburban radio with tape deck and a bench top power supply
Great video. Only thing I would mention is you should use a multimeter and measure the maximum current draw and make sure your 12v adapter can handle it.
Also take note about the Amps of the 12v power supply, if that headunit is producing about 200w on 4 channel then probably you should have a 20A 12v power supply.
I have used 5a power supplies with no problem. No overload doesn't even pull a full 5 amps. Cars stereos list all of these outrageous power numbers but they're bullshit. Realistically you get around 15w per channel if that. Sony makes a few stereos with beefcake amps in them but they're the exception not the rule.
@@ElectronicsForFun maybe that's why, but my pioneer ones doesn't like the 12v 5a power brick (cutting the power off), but works wonderfully on my 14.4v 30a power supply. (Too overkill lol). I also have a local cheap head unit (bought it for about 8 usd brand new), I can crank it up 100% with the 5a power supply. So maybe it's likely producing less than 50w on 4 channels.
Hey bro the video was rlly helpful thanks alot but i have a question i have car radio i think its a 50 watts radio but i want to get full power out of it. How much amps of a 12volts adapter should i get. Should i get a 6 or 7 amps adapter (i have 7 speakers connected to it) and im currently using a 12volts 2.5 amps
Not sure why its "rocket science" hooking up a car stereo when its not in your car, its way easier when your car isn't in the way. Just note that it works off 12 volt, like your computer you might be watching this on! Thank you for the video, good work and thank you for your time mister.
Appreciate that Boss. Was just wondering if there was a way for power without actually having to use a car battery. I have plenty of those plugs. Want to test the quality of sound before I install radio in the car. Have been through 2 so far for my niece and don't like the sound. Want a radio that has some bass without needing an amp and sub. 3rd radio is on the way so I wanted to test it in the house before installing. Thanks for the tips. I don't trash too much stuff either. Comes in handy when the wheels in your head start rollin! Thanks again.
@@daniellemathis8624 Sounds good. I usually buy Pioneer for the cars and Sony for the house. Been trying touchscreens so she can easily access the sd card of music I gave her. I'll Google yours. This project has become a job! Thanks
Hi! Thanks for a great video it was really easy to follow and repeat which made it possible for me to set up my own car stereo at home. I’m very glad from the results but I have one question regarding the safety of the set up. I want to know if it is safe to connect at home? Can this set up cause any sort of hazard? (Like a fire for example) or will the fuse (located at the back of the radio) blow in case anything happens? Thanks again for the video
The question I needed answer was what kind of amplifier or control panel I needed to run speakers. I wired a 40 V lawn mower battery to some lights on my bicycle am interested in adding speakers. i might have to build my own bt radio to make it as compact as possible
RUclips hasn't got you yet. Lol Bro I was thinking about doing this probably around the same time doing the same thing but I let it sit there for a few years randomly thinking about it.
I’ve been thinking about doing this with Skar’s 4inch TX4 120W speakers and a similar head unit and was wondering how loud the speakers were actually playing. I doubt you know the exact decibel reading but if you could give me an estimation of what to expect before I buy them that’d be great
I was damn worried about the short circuit, live wire connections to the loud speaker. Seems like you were not careful about it. Thanks for posting, anyways!
Yeah I bought a CD player like that earlier today for tomorrow for my for my house and they don't got no box either it's made just like yours and I'm trying to see if you can make one out of wood the picture radio and you know where it go be all opened up like that you know
It won't, and please dont do it, there's a specific head unit that supports 24v, the maximum voltage on a 12v head unit are 14v. Edit: It may work but it won't be reliable.
GREAT video… only issue is it comes on but as soon as I hook up the speaker it shuts off! Hooked it to a power wheels battery and no issue.. I want it plugged in the outlet tho. Using a Pioneer BT-160 double din. Do I need more power? I’ve tried adapters with more power and it doesn’t even come on!
I bought a little cheap car radio like that on Amazon for 40$ then I think I have some speakers layin around maybe all together like 80 or 60 idk I’m weird I like car radios even tho I have plenty house radios
I got my deck to turn on. But no matter what wires I hook up to what wire is nothing happens Bluetooth connected and volume is up when I put together the black white cord and the solid white cord and then the blue cord touch it I hear a little bit of static with but thats it
ive got the same exact speakers im using for something like this. clutchfield came in clutch and let me keep them instead of sending them back. still got my refund!
Some time when you those lil 6 1/2 door speakers them will come with those like wires as extensions, but if not any speakers wire will do just add some of the connectors and slide em on to the speakers

@@bryanleiporsado6845 yeah a good car stereo will draw some power, your average Walmart or Amazon car stereo is going to be a pooch.
Btw you should generally match the amperage of the power supply with the radio's fuse. 10 Amps in your case.
Its built into it

The fuse should blow before anything I would guess ive never had and issues just make sure all wires are separated and taped properly

bro, I really mess wit u. I appreciate your video..
Hey quick question instead of the power outlet can I hook it up to a 12v battery back
It should work it's worth a try
I have a car radio and a car amp connected to the outlets in my garage. It gonna turn into a portable sound system.
Sweet thats cool a portable sound system 😎
Nice
Can I connect this to the antenna I have on my rooftop in order to listen to the radio?
i have a 12v power supply but it has 4 wires blue yellow red and black should i use all of them?
Pretty badass. Too bad i don’t have these parts lying around or a need to do this.

Yeah you could make a box out of wood to put it in
Thanks for sharing I missed the
Part which wires are which in the ac adaptor after you cut the end off
Thanks for watching appreciate it
I'm gonna jam in my storage where i do lots of my biz
Can you show how to splice the 12v adapter, and putting on the connectors......
Can you use any wire or specific🤔
I Really Appreciate That My Brother - U Saved Mii A'lot of $ and I can Add A Amp and Sub in My Home!!
Peace Brother
Can I use a 15-24V adapter for power supply even though the stereo deck is 12V?
It won't, and please dont do it, there's a specific head unit that supports 24v, the maximum voltage on a 12v head unit are 14v.
Edit: It may work but it won't be reliable.
Cool
You ain't nothing but an old man rummaging around in his garage😅
OK, what did you do with the blue wire my guy because I did everything you did. I have the same exact radio and no music coming out of the speakers.
The blue is normally antenna, are you using 12v adapter
GREAT video… only issue is it comes on but as soon as I hook up the speaker it shuts off!
Hooked it to a power wheels battery and no issue.. I want it plugged in the outlet tho.
Using a Pioneer BT-160 double din. Do I need more power? I’ve tried adapters with more power and it doesn’t even come on!
Get a 12 Volts DC 5 or 6 AMPS Adapter
The radio is probably under powered
I’m literally tryna do it rn but it’s not playing sounds apparently it’s the blue wire so what did u do with the blue wire?
Are you running 12v to it, and the blue is for a car antenna
Wanna do this w an amp and subs also🙏should def make a vid on it if you haven’t yet
Hey quick question will it effect the power of the house?
Nope it won't be any didn't then plug anything else up in the house
Thanks
Im guessing I can do the same thing thing with my car door speakers ? Run the speaker wire directly to the car stereo
Now u can buy ever start battery charger plug. Only 19 dollars. And jst hook up neg, and post. Bam got power.
Bad ass ink
Ok I have A Box that was in my Car my Amp was Taken with my Car so does the Hook up is the same
I'm using05 Altima Radio my room
u selling one of those speaker??
Nice project sir 👏🫡

Is the wire diagram still on your radio so you can tell which wires are which you could have them mixed up
Could you bridge 2 channels to make one output?
You might could if the radio could handle it
ive got the same exact speakers im using for something like this. clutchfield came in clutch and let me keep them instead of sending them back. still got my refund!
It worked but some car radio are 14.4 volts like my pioneer radio
Where did you get the wires that were already connected to your speakers ?
