I Put Car Audio In My House

Showing my car audio setup in my home. I was able to put this together for less than a nice home theater receiver and have been very impressed with the quality and output of sound.

I never understood why people want to see demos of audio that is compressed on KZbin and then listened to on low quality earphones. You can't tell what they really sound like in person by watching a video.

[@housemartinez]

Those JBLs are terrible. You're not missing anything.

You have my dream job! In Australia everyone goes to car audio companies. I agree with soundbar being crappy! Excellent craftsmanship! BTW. Oddball sound systems are always interesting to every Audiophile!

[@ronaldbuck9153]

I really admire your wiring. I got Two 15's, Two 6X9s and Two 6.5's hooked up to a Pioneer Head Unit in the basement, and my wires are not this clean. Everything is sound and tight, they are just disorganized and all over the place. Nice set up Bro! and Thankds for the Vid

I really like the functional aspect of the upgrading ....this with a touchscreen android radio like the big Tesla looking ones would be sick

[@diymaster1121]

Cool setup. I am using two cheap 50 dollar subwoofers in a boxes tuned to around 30hz and surprisingly in room with a little eq they are pretty flat down to 25hz and can go as low as 22 at decent volume I am powering them with PA amplifier (behringer km1700) which is a overkill but i wanted a future proof amplifier. You can get a decent sound from budget subwoofer if you build a good box

[@Vector_Ze]

Before I sold my hurricane damaged car, I salvaged some high end speakers, amp and crossover. After seeing your video, I wish I'd snatched the Kenwood Excelon DNX8120 out too. I paid over $1,000 for the head unit alone. But, it is over 10-years old today, where ever it is. I'm thinking about finding someone locally who builds custom speaker enclosures, since I've got a couple grand in those too. The amp and crossover I saved are/were good stuff too, but I'm thinking I'd power the speakers more conventionally. Interesting video! Looks like you do good work.

[@andrewcrane1021]

Seems like a simple, clean setup. Makes me wonder actually why it isn't more common. I've thought about doing this a few times, but was always stopped on, "How do I convert the AC to DC" to get to the amp? Admittedly, I didn't put much thought past that. Now that I see how to do it, I may in the future try something like this. Thanks very much!

Nice it looks so swell. I have a 15" XFL and a 18" SDR in my room on a 2000 watt Hifonics amp.

[@DJ_Force]

I think you meant 50 AMPS, not watts, from your power supply. Other than that, pretty cool! I did something similar to add subs to my receiver using some old Pioneer IMPP 12s, an old Kenwood amp and a 40 amp 12volt power supply. You know, you could source a Dolby Pro Logic decoder and get pseudo-surround from your TV.

[@lawrencedavidson6195]

Nice setup. I am going solar so lots of 12v stuff i'll be using too. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.

[@NormadYT]

I borrowed my uncles harman kardon speaker system from his Land Rover discovery td5 and I can’t wait to make a Bluetooth speaker that disassembles into a 5.1/5.2 - 7.1/7.2 surround sound system for home use

[@ConnorBallin659]

Nice setup. I made a homemade Bluetooth speaker using 2 infinity reference 963iix 6x9s in a plywood box and a skar audio ix-10 subwoofer in their prefab box all powered by a 4 channel blaupunkt 1804bt amp and a similar power supply just smaller and it sounds amazing way louder and clearer than any Bluetooth speaker I have heard. I made it for 300 dollars and it blows my 500 dollar JBL boom box 2 away! When doing audio for the tv or recreation I recommend building your own sound system with car speakers. It’s fun, it saves money money, and is usually better sounding than store bought.

[@Pub2k4]

I did something similar… I used a DAC, 2 6x9’s, and a Kicker 10’ as my PC sound system.

[@cybernaab]

I did the same a while back, but those 6x9 wil sound bad in such a small box, after testing i find 6x9 speakers sound best with open baffle or in a huge floorstander box especially open baffle sounds good for movies very wide sound stage

[@LIZARRAGA6M43]

Sounds great 👍

[@jarhead6907]

Just in case y’all didn’t know… you can buy a optical to rca adapter. You have to use your amps when you do that though

[@juanzarate9211]

I’m pretty sure the answer is yes but could you buy a expensive receiver that would do a good job powering your speakers and you can have a center channel as well and support decoding ?

[@charlesm.9858]

[@allard_eesinge]

So nice 👍🏻

[@LBCAndrew]

I recently had my 10" Mirage Omni S10 home subwoofer crap out on me, so since i had some subs and amps collecting dust in the garage, I figured why not? The subs themselves are 12" Boston Acoustics G312-44 in a sealed enclosure and it's powered by a SoundStream Reference 500s (Old school A/B made in USA amp). The amp is running at 1ohm with the subs wired how they are, so they're getting the full 500w between them. To power everything i'm using a 50 Amp Mean-Well 12v power supply with a 5 Farad cap to take a bit of strain off the power supply.

[@chicago23_]

I have a 7.2 set up home theater but I don't want to connect my 4 subs in the receiver (scared of damaging it) can I connect them separately like you did but still have sound from the subs?I have 4 kicker l7s 12's 2 in one box for my front corners

[@bikdav]

Those JBL 12 inch subwoofers are a killer deal, especially when on sale.

[@Synthematix]

Unfortunately car audio doesnt sound great in the home, its designed for well, cars, in turn theres a harshness around 100Hz and the high frequencies are rolled off quite steeply, also car speakers are designed for open baffles, especially 6x9's

[@donaldworth1289]

So how exactly did you power the head unit did you also wire it up directly to the power max as well as the amp?

Wouldn't you lose all your crossover settings from the head unit once the power strip is switched off? It would be the equivalent of disconnecting a car battery and losing all the presets in the radio

[@LikelyLagging]

i am farrrrr from an expert but from what i understand running those subwoofers that underpowered youre more likely to run the speakers because theres not enough air movement moving over your coils to cool them.

[@rockypalacios2494]

It be cheaper n easyier to go after market radio and all because therw is no pre outs in factory car stereos the speakers may be old or good but car speakers are so cheap especially used u can get radios and sp ew kers amps and subs with boxes for the price on one home stereo amp

[@LikelyLagging]

the charger is 50W rms? why does that not seem right, or is it different with ac vs dc?

[@NerdyMeathead]

you ever thought about replacing the head unit with a 2nd hand home theater receiver with preouts going to the car amp?

[@TheBladeSickness]

This would work. Youd just want to be sure your reciever could handle 4 ohm speaker loads. Also home theater speakers are usually paper cone or lighter material and require less power to drive effectively, so you might need a higher power reciever to drive the speakers as effectively.

[@NerdyMeathead]

@@TheBladeSickness No no . What im saying is . You keep your speakers hooked up to the car amp. You just take the RCA Pre out from the home theater receiver and feed that source into the car amps rca input. Same as you are doing with the car head unit. You right now are taking the rca from the car head unit and feed it to the car amps. You just have to make sure the Home theater reciever Has PRE-OUT on the back.

You can run a home set up but to do so you would need a audio control lc2 and a 12v wall charger to power it. To make this possible. It took me a long time to figure out how this could be possible. They didn't have this technology when I first started audio. Hope this helps you 👍👌✌️💯

Very nice, but dont you get tired of putting in your presets over and over again when you turn the power then back on?

Most newer radios will retain the hard audio presets, or at least this one does. Even when memory power is cut, it still reverts to the same crossovers and eq sets. Otherwise, yes. That would be a super pain. lol

I run two bookshelf speakers on the amp and they sound so good, so I was thinking since my rear channels on the parametric Eq are not in use and I have a spare speaker (same rating as the bookshelf drives) I can tap audio from maybe the right/left channel on the EQ's rear output straight to the amp then run the third speaker as a rear speaker behind my couch.
