Me and my buddy use to do set ups like this all the time, especially when we came across new goodies to try out. Never thought I would ever see a video one on yt, great video..

[@nocturnumb1781]

I like your shop videos as much as your normal car audio vids. Please keep em coming

[@bruce12393]

Gotta try this out! When I upgrade my subs, I always sell my old stuff. Going to start keeping everything so that I can build something like this💪🏽👍🏽

[@snoopy3060]

Man you came a long way Parker! I remember when I first subscribed to your channel there was a couple hundred views at most, keep doing awesome Parker!

Got mine hooked up to a pc power supply and my Bluetooth soundbar 👍🏻.

[@Tweeksfr]

hey could you show me how you did it?

[@coug5459]

Literally what I did. I'm so confused what the battery is for in this video

[@tthtonekid]

​@@coug5459he just already had a battery and didn't want to buy an inverter I'm sure.

[@kvngbanks]

i’m sure the battery helps when the speakers hit hard because when mine hit hard it cuts the amp off i’m running a xbox cord

Great set up man appreciate all the videos can’t wait for the upgrade

[@LBCAndrew]

I've got some vintage amps i want to test and maybe use for a home subwoofer, so this info helped me out. The amps are a SoundStream Reference 1000s and 500s. The 1000s i'm actually in the middle of repairing after a bunch of mosfets exploded. Luckily i managed to get some help on the repairs from the guy who actually designed those late 1990's SoundStream amps who posts on a audio forum i frequent.

[@Joe_1776]

After I replaced my vehicles 150amp alt with a Singer 350, I took my old stock 150 amp alt and connected it to an AC motor that spins at 2k rpms (120 volts 7.5 amps from the wall) and use the alt to power amps in my house or garage it's portable, with 2 d3400s as a power bank I can power a Sundown SCV2000D. There is also meanwell ac to d/c bricks that people use too.

[@cheaney-xw6ci]

Instead of a home sub, try building a box type of enclosure for the subs to fire into. I remember when I was younger the one car stereo car i went to was setup like that. They had a jl 10w6 triple setup in a custom made bandpass box that felt like someone was punching you in the chest. That kind of setup worked very well.

[@josephsaucedo8691]

I'm so glad you said that about the power supply unit most people don't understand that the amps need to match the system it can start a fire if over power. thats what most of the people running a Xbox or computer supply unit don't understand it's barely enough power to run 300w amp and deck exspeclly if wire is sized wrong it to will also be bad news definitely don't want to burn 🔥down your house for a little bass. Good stuff shop looking legit bump on bass brother bass heads 🎵💥🎶💯👍👌✌️ p.s I run 2 1500w rms amps for the subs and a house receiver for the surround sound.. a similar set up as yours in my garage. I can list to the same song in the car and on all rest of my system at the same time as well boom 👍😇💯💥

I have an xbox 360 power supply powering a cheap $50 boss amp, it's been powering my 12" Kicker home sub for 2 years+ now, and it sounds good enough to make the shelves shake. love seeing home set ups with car audio, great vid.

[@akidim13]

That’s what I use as well , and was also thinking about buying a cheap boss amp to run a cheap sub also , right now I have a kicker 250.1 trying to power a L5 and it works but you can tell the sub isn’t even phased lol

Awesome video. Can you do a video on how to hook up a Watt, volt and amp meter to a system? I can't find one video.

[@user-vf9ug2su2l]

hey parker how you doing, just seeing this video about setting up a car system at home. I have a question have u ever try to run audio from the head unit speaker wires to the rca in put the amp or from a pre amp eq to the amplifier. can u test this theory out an tell me if u get noise fed back to your speakers for the mids an highs.

[@toddspraker8916]

Face the subs towards the wall and it will clean off the work bench for you.🤣😎

[@Camocountry1]

If i got a taramp 120 amp power supply to run a skar 1200.1 amp would i need a car battery? I was looking at a 35 ah sealed battery. Do i need a 35 ah or can i save money and get a lower ah battery?

[@drew5955]

Hey this is really cool. Because of you i will be building my own 🤣 🤣 question: how often do you run your DC power supply? I understand a regular charger may not be the way to do it, it will only put out a set amount of volts/amps.?

[@Adrian-uo1wk]

You should get a 120amp power max I use it to run my skar audio rp1200 I have it on my skar audio svr15 and it bottoms out the sub

[@MisstakenDoge95]

How much did this cost you? Is it as easy to setup as you do in the video? Is the battery in a sense like a super capacitor or can the power supply power thr entire system? Is this easy for beginers? Sorry for so many questions

What are the songs he played?

[@tymills7487]

Fun fact. You can use a tattoo gun machine. A battery. A amp and aux cord. And you can play music from anything. All you do is strip the wires on the DC converter thing u attach that to the battery and the battery to the amp. And boom u got music

[@csj9619]

I use a power supply taken from an old computer after it went belly-up. It has 12volt, 5volt and 3volt leads and will do up to 14amps of current. Use ALL yellow wires for +, Use ALL black wires for - (ground). Cut off red and orange wires (3v and 5v leads). Most p.s. require green and black leads jumped (trigger). Get pinout for your particular power supply as some differ

[@jkane1341]

Yup been running an amp like that for years, also taken from an old dead PC.

[@Tweeksfr]

do i need a fuse?

[@tatsumaru12345]

Yep this is the way. Computer power supplies. I usually get whatever the 80+ rated best buy special is, typically EVGA around 600w. Never had an issue. No worries about discharging a battery too fast, battery failing. Just works or it doesn't.

[@coug5459]

Why do you need a battery? I use a home stereo reciever to run my home speakers, run av plugs (signal) to the Amp from the reciever, plug a small 1200 watt computer power supply (ac to dc converter) into the wall, plug the Amp into the power supply, wire the Amp to the subs? I'm so confused what the battery is for?

[@madtanman]

Reserve amperage

[@dareason7581]

why not unhook the battery then put in the fuse?

[@devilblueduke]

Can’t I just hook the amp to some thing to make it to go into a plug outlet ?? Please no hate. I absolutely do not know how to do this at all. I have left over stereo equipment from my old car and I want to hook everything up on a to go box on wheels like a big Bluetooth speaker. I have MB Quartz separates the ones that were made in Germany. A 400 rms directed DEI CompX Sub in a tiny sealed enclosure. I have a alpine amp for my separated and a Orion xtr pro amp for my sub. I’ll have to get a head unit with cd player and Bluetooth in it. I have a AGM 4800 energy car battery that I can use for the times I have no electricity to use. Any suggestions/ Links would be much appreciated thank you in advanced.
