How to hook a Car Amplifier to Your House ! (Own Risk!)

[@noodleclaws]

Y'all still doing this? Remember, do this at your own risk! This is indeed, very sketchy -liek n subskrib-

[@_Ciosu..]

Bruhh, this is not sketchy, it worked.. Also, it's explode once because I turned the power on/off really fast at the same times.. Probably the power supply is just shit, old and probably gonna die on it own anyway.. Maybe.. So yeah.. Thanks for the vids.. I learned a lot.. Just make sure it is not over 12V I guess..

[@adonisrosales1642]

Thank you boss. Direct to the point. Very easy to understand for a guy like me who has no idea in electronics but love listening music. My amp is functioning already. Thankyou.

[@pavelowgaming8780]

I tortured the shit out of a 550 watt Coolermaster doing this, tying all the yellow and black rails together. I was pushing an amp with a 90 amp fuse hold and two 15 inch Kicker L7's, and I wasn't going easy on the system. Coolermaster PSU's dude. Coolermaster. the 550 watt Coolermaster PSU was doing the job of a 1000 watt PSU. still works to this day.

[@Knightsauce]

did this evey fuck your system up? what ened up happening? is it okay to plug in a 2nd yellow 12v and ground?

[@kultss]

@@Knightsauce if 2nd 12v and ground comes from the same supply then it's ok, nothing will happen

[@theadventuresofshellyandfr5618]

Thanks brother! You just saved me $300 from having to buy a new stereo!

[@midlander3760]

The concept is good, but using a single wire yellow and black wire is not of appropriate gauge to safely deliver the current the power supply can deliver. Tying all the yellow wires together and all the black wires together, as shown in other videos, effectively provides a much larger gauge conductor to the car amp which would be much safer. As a side note, computer power supplies show how much current the +12v rail can supply. The safest thing to do would be to use a power supply that can deliver more current (amps) than the fuse (or total of fuses if the car amp has multiple) on the car amp to ensure the power supply will not be stressed and can provide all the power the car amp could need. Just a couple thoughts. Thanks for the video.

[@niknovsak3288]

So if the amp is 12v with a 50A fuse I need a psu with 12v and more than 50A??

[@ΙΩΑΝΝΗΣΓΟΥΖΟΥΑΣΗΣ]

I think a power converter would be better to use instread of this pc power supply. I 'm sure that a 100-200watt 110V-220V AC / 1.5V-12V DC at 10A LED tape power converter will play this amplifier beautifully and unfold its power to the maximum.

[@rezo786]

please bundle your yellow wires and your black wires together. you will get more amps = more power.

[@thefixxerr]

Great video. As far as the song goes that says get stupid,,, I don’t think this world needs anymore of that.. lol

[@Joaquin77]

[@williammickelson403]

How do you connect the speakers for mid-high range to your amp

[@ahrma1385]

Splice all the positives all together and splice all the negative ones all together will get you more power and wont burn the cables using only one will melt the wire

[@SailorGanyu]

If you want a amplifier in home But don't have a the power cpu part. See how many voltage your amp needs and and buy a DC adaptor according to how much volts your amp needs And on Amazon you can get it for cheap

[@REDONEAYRE]

U need AT LEAST a power supply with 30 amps on the 12 volt line, I have been doing this for years and it works well. Cheap light weight power supplies will not handle any high amp draws, get one thats heave with lots of amps...Enermax power supplies work well .

[@Ingotsilvergt]

You sound like you know what your talking about Looking to run a brz2400.1 to a kicker l7 15 in my house Do they make a “ good” home receiver with a sub amp built in ?

[@lucymuniu9387]

Hello

[@saad6367]

I have 12v 130 ampers supply and its really very good power

[@Wolf10-xsl]

for light bass and low volume your power supply setup is fine, but if you need to crank it up you need a 750W single rail 12V PSU and a beefy 1 Farad Capacitor to take up the current surges. a good alternate is a not less than 2SM car battery and an automotive charger. considering the cost of all the abovementioned car amp is not practical for home use.

[@Wolf10-xsl]

Travis Gulley whats your amp size? how many watts

[@dayngerkat6760]

10 seconds in then I understood why the title was written that way

[@tykendrick800]

🤣🤣

[@_Ciosu..]

Nice, I have the same setup like your but I used a adapter from a laptop wire for power..

[@gauravdas1000]

could you please tell me how much ampere of current does your adapter provides and RMS of your amplifier?

[@yusufswartz4958]

Hi,can you explain how you done it with laptop cable,i have one but the power supply

[@_Ciosu..]

Hi, sorry it's been a long time since I used that setup, using PC power supply is much more easier.. But with a laptop cable, I think it cut off at the end after that box looking thing of that cable.. It should be two wire in there, then you connect it to your amplifier.. From all of my experience back from 2 years ago, most amplifier or car mp3 required 12V of power.. So, using computer power supply is easier cause they're all mostly 12V wire.. You can even run it with your PC if you have the 12V wire extension ( like for a PC fans ).. That box from laptop cable is I believe a transformer, that I guess transform the current to 12V but I'm not sure cause my amplifier just stop working, lol.. So now I'm using a car mp3 and a PC power supply.. Hope you understand my explanation, have a good day.. Ohh btw, this video help me learned a lot about this.. Credit to that 👍🏻👏🏻

[@_Ciosu..]

Disclaimer : Please be careful and cautious with the PC power supply, it CAN EXPLODE.. Mine already did once.. So do it on your own risk.. Maybe it's depends on the quality of the power supply..

[@cleophasbergh1187]

It works. I have a power supply powering my 1 (STARSOUND 6700WATT RAPTOR AMPLIFIER) which powers my 2 (12inch XTC).. .

[@Joaquin77]

i would check the recommended input values for the amp like Voltage and Amps. and compare it to the power supply's output values to avoid frying something. It's like cellphones and chargers.. your cell phone tells you what type of charger it needs, they may look the same but they throw different amps values. that's why cell phones don't charge or get too hot, the Amps have a lot to do with it.

[@LasleyMediaGroup]

djkubo a computer PSU can't put out as much power as a big car battery unless you get like an EVGA 1600w one

[@_Ciosu..]

Can I know what the risk is ?? I think pc power supply are not that powerful ( to burn a houses ) .. I really want to use it, so can anyone make it clear ?? Kinda scared a little bit..

[@SangramVID]

[@aboiliass5420]

can i use any kind of speakers or i must use a high watt speakers only ?

[@slomo7543]

Problem is a computer power supply does not support the amps the amplifier is going to pull. End result will be amp going into protect or it WILL cause a fire.

[@byCDMC]

FYI, Green WIRE, not fucking CABLE... also, for anyone who dont know shit about stuff like this. check the car amp fuse. if its a for example 500W car amp that has 50A fuse, get at least a 600+W PSU (good quality one, not any no-brand garbage!) with at least 60A on +12V to get most of the car amp. if you use weak and cheap PSU's you will blow the fuck off the damn voltage regulators and burn our house down...(or damage the amp) Also quality brand PSU's have protection for short circuit or overload and all that crap, so if you use a quality PSU and something goes wrong, the PSU will shut off to protect it self and everything connected to it.

[@kotovloges]

Screwhead GTA_Addict good

[@MechaTronic161]

nahhhh...it wont burn the house down unless its not protected by circuit breaker. If the power source is not sufficient to supply the amount of current, the Amplifier will go to protection mode first and shut down the amp.

[@gurkiratsingh2953]

if fuse of car amp is rated 50 ampere...then is it ok to give more than 50

[@lilkap-topic9940]

[@SailorGanyu]

Ground wire the overflow of the electricity to the earth from the wire like a lighting pole in any circumstances do not connect Ground to the amplifier again it could damage you amp And in some cases it might explode and even damage the speakers

Hi, I have a question... i am using a car amp at home with a power supply. I am concerned about wire getting melted or fire during prolonged use as my the wire gets somewhat warm. So, can i use multiple yellow wires put together in +12v and multiple black wires in GnD port for it to run without getting hot at louder volumes? Is it ok to do so?

[@SAMPDrifter1000]

shasashu yes it is ok to do that

[@aysegulercintekin7206]

[@nathanielsheomangal9794]

Hi there, after watching your video im planing to make one too, but i will use a power suply kit, rated 12v and 30a, some cctv power suply i guess, will it work? And for the bass part (oh yeah we love bassssss 😄) i will use my polytron active subwoofer ported box, so, since the sub is active (having its own power) can i just plug them pararel to 2 slot of the amp (front or rear) or i have to do some math with its impedance and rms value??

[@faze_alex24_yt13]

A xbox brick is safer it draws 12v nothing more because it's not powering the amp fully to its capacity I suggest it

[@chippi09]

Hello mate ! I followed your instructions using a PC power supply too( RATED OUTPUT @145Watts). It did powered the amp and put out a short music but, it just quit and pc power supply fan stops too. I tried unplugging it and plug it again and the amp powered up and quit again. I am using a ALPINE Mono Amp MRP M850 driving dual 12 inch subs, any idea why power supply just quit? Is it underpowered ? Your video was very clear and very helpful btw. Thanks for sharing.

[@SAMPDrifter1000]

The power supply can't handle the load, get a power supply can handle more power

[@chippi09]

Ok Thanks

[@oldskoolhead0]

not only do you need to match the power but you also need to account for the unused power on the 5v rails etc and deduct or rather just find out how much current can be output from the 12v rails you are using as a 145w supply might only output eg a 100 watts on the 12v rail you are using and 45w on 5v which you are not using and there is 3.3v as well

[@charleshendrick7266]

Ad a 10 ohm resistor between a RED wire and a BLACK..... that should keep the PSU running. Some PSUs gotta have the load on the red wire to keep running once powered up.

[@kenroberts3687]

omg... you can bundle more of the 12v + and more the the 12 - togather will give you more amps of power and = more watts from your amp there is NO way 1 run of each will run that amp at MAX watts you will more than likely burn up the power wire in a short time

[@LasleyMediaGroup]

Ken Roberts You'd be surprised how much power can go through those wires.

[@travisgulley2652]

Ken Roberts car amplifiers require at least 14 amps or the amplifier will shut off easier to use a Xbox 360 power brick but that only gives you 14 amps which is plenty of power to power any car amplifier

I have followed your steps, it power up, But not able to get louder, even if at full Volume on the device Can you advice please thank in advance

[@infrasonicrebasses4763]

you may need a headunit but if your system shuts off you may need a bigger power supply to power the headunit AND still have enough amps for your amplifier to play

[@djsoundzentertainment42]

Adjust the amplifers gain control after first turning up the source of music you are using like a phone, or tablet, ect. Once the gain is set, leave it alone and control volume with device.

[@infrasonicrebasses4763]

yeah but you will need a headunit to push the volume on the amplifier itself otherwise you only getting a quarter of your full volume no matter what device heck sometimes even less in some devices for eg monitor screen doesn't push much volume as a sound card does in a computer

[@djsoundzentertainment42]

@@infrasonicrebasses4763 No. The signal comes from a phone, CD player, or whatever source you're using and the amplifiers job is to amplify the signal. Using a head units RCA's is the same as using a phone or CD player as the music source. Not sure why you think you need a head unit but you sure don't.

[@infrasonicrebasses4763]

because you won't be getting full volume...because here is what i have i got my car audio amp and car audio sub right and i have this 7amp DC power supplier right so its wired up with 8 gauge wires and all hooked up so when the DC power supplier is turned on the amp turns on but there is no ground so when you turn it off the sub would make a loud pop noise but an easy way to avoid this is just put a switch on the positive wire the copper one so just switch it off then turn off the power supplier and no pop sound...but now here is the thing while i have the amp working and the sub plays the sub somehow gets some midsy sounds kinda close to voices yah know and well hmmmm the sub isn't playing very loud as it did in the car and it don't even move as much as it did in the car so thats why i said all those about a head unit.. first you need a good power source for EG my amplifier fuses are 2 25fuses so a total of 50amps so therefore i may need about 50amps right AND a headunit with at least 4 volts to push the volume..kinda like a receiver yah know like them stereo system...its basically something JUST like that so the volume can be pushed more closer to the real amount of output you SHOULD be getting...do you understand what i mean there ??

Not getting the required amperage from the power supply you are using. If your amplifier comes with two 30 amp fuses or something like that, a pc power supply may not run it. You would need something about 12-14 volts with at least 60 amps constant to run the amplifier at a high volume. Better off running it off a car battery with a battery charger connected to maintain the battery's charge during use.

[@kskate91]
