@Forrest Lambert The 5 amp will probably work at low volume, but as you turn up the volume, the radio will draw more than 5 amps and probably burn up the power supply.

I did something similar back in 1995 when I was in the 7th grade and was broke. I had an old car radio, and an old AT (not ATX) computer power supply. I used the 12v off of the old power supply to power the radio. I used a cassette tape adaptor with an AUX cable (they were used to connect portable CD players to car radios) cut the cable and spliced it into AV cables and connected them to the sound out of my Super Nintendo. A friend had two home speakers that he let me have which I connected to the speaker outputs. The radio was broken which is why I got it for free. I found out that the cassette wouldn't line up causing muffled sound. I found out that if I slightly pried the cassette adaptor up it would sound normal so I used a spoon jammed into it to achieve this. My mother always hated it as she thought that I would "burn down the place" as she used to say. hahahaha.

The El Kameleon has RCA inputs, I purchased a stereo RCA to 3.5mm jack cable that allows me to directly plug into a Bluetooth receiver module or any source that has a 3mm headphone type jack. Thanks Toid, My system sounds great!

I just bought a Pioneer DEH-X3800UI car hifi for this very reason, the sound quality from these pioneer head units is amazing, but you need a good power supply to get the best sound, 14.2v at 15 amps, these are designed to run from a battery (cleaner power) so a good psu is essential for decent sound quality and long life of the hifi itself.

I have a very good sounding Sony head unit (Sony CDX-FW570). It sounds extremely good. I lost my car in a wreck however and I would like to try this as this head unit sounds great. When I end up buying another car, I will be putting that head unit back in. For those in my situation, use wiring nuts instead of soldering. That way, you can install your head unit into your new car with ease.

Great idea in current times when the price of electricity is sky high. A deep cycle marine/rv battery would be perfect to get through cloudy days or dark nights during winter. Those 12V automotive solar panels are cheap. By using an inverter on the deep cycle battery, could likely charge up a laptop too. Might come in handy in case of a power outage to use a phone or laptop to check for power company updates.

a little trick you can do with almost all aftermarket car radios is run them on 16V. ive played with a dozen of these things on my bench and all the digital logic in internally regulated and the power amp IC's in them are almost ALWAYS rated up to 18V. Some of the very very new, like 2017+ decks the power amps are even able to safely drive 2 ohm loads at UP TP 16V! almost 40Wx4 of unclipped power. but heat does become an issue.

Great explanation, I'm getting ready to do this and you just made it a breeze for me. If you add an on/off switch in line with the red wire, you would be able to turn the head unit on or off like you would with the keys to your car. The yellow is the 12v constant that keeps settings and time saved

For those who ask what power supply they should use the answer is: 12V DC (not AC), 5A (it should be enough current. If not you may hear distortion or unit will stop working properly on higher volume), 60W. Exact current draw depends on your unit model, some chinese ones have really weak amplifiers, some better brands may have more powerful ones, witch will require more powerfull psu.
@Toid7 жыл бұрын
Thaks for pointing out the difference between AC and DC power. I sometimes forget to make the differentiation, but it is not something to be overlooked.
@rawux12287 жыл бұрын
AC voltage is like sine wave. At certain points it becomes negative, so it can damage electronics because of wrong polarity. DC is constant voltage. You can use AC supply or transformer, but you will have to use rectifier bridge and some filter capacitors. Have in mind that if you have 12V AC supply, ac converted to dc voltage will be 1.4 times higher.

Well, when it comes to Power Supplies, you really should only power it with one that has the same or more Amperage along with 12 Volts. Like My stereo is a 12v 10A Stereo and am running a 12v 17A power supply with a secondary 10A fuse line and runs fully as if it was still in the car with radio and everything working. You can power it with any 12V but how well it'll power it and how loud you can get it is determined by the Amps that Power Supply is pushing.
