I did this when i was like 13 in my room… instead of buying a house stereo i picked up a deck speakers amplifier and subwoofer from my friends and ran a car battery and used my car battery charger. I used to shake my houses windows lol

[@trentdawg2832]

Yup, this was big back in the late 80's early 90's, did the same thing.....have the same thing in my garage, way cheaper and louder than any home stereo that's for sure

[@davidshawaliasdavid4438]

The only way to go. No home audio system could ever compare.

[@PakehaParker]

Same. I put a geto blaster in my mini. 8 DD batteries = 12 volts. Sounded awesome.

[@mrbutterman2443]

But is it safe to leave the charger on like that? Or is it fine because its constantly having power pulled

[@brandnubian733]

Ac converter much easier and cheaper they have KZbin videos about how to do it.

My wife and I got a shed put into our back yard that was going to be my work shop. We got 3 quotes to get electricity installed and all 3 were over $2,000!!! So, I spent $1,500 and put together a small solar panel setup that has solar panels, a charge controller, 560+ amp/hr of AGM batteries, and a couple of power inverters. For the radio, I used a basic Bluetooth car radio, have a 4 channel Kicker amp powering a pair of 5 1/4” coax car speakers in the ceiling, and of course a single 8” subwoofer that was on clearance mounted in the ceiling too in a 0.6 cubic foot sealed enclosure! It cranks!!!! Sounds great for the entire back yard, and the solar system puts out enough power to run an 8k BTU window unit so I can work on things in air conditioning!!! Of course, I wired up a power and ground wire on the work bench so I can test amps and radios too!

[@kirbybradbury-mills6781]

That's awesome! I have a 50w panel I'm looking for a project/use for. How powerful is you're setup

[@91CavGT5]

@@kirbybradbury-mills6781 what do you mean when you ask how powerful is it?

[@kirbybradbury-mills6781]

Wattage, I think, I'm fairly amateur but have A 50 watt solar panel, car battery head unit and speakers

[@91CavGT5]

@@kirbybradbury-mills6781 a 50 watt solar panel will put out around 2.5 amps of current in direct sunlight. So that will be enough to keep your battery charged while playing the radio, as long as you are not cranking the volume, and as long as nothing else is connected to it. A car battery is not ideal for that setup, but can be used for now. This is because a car battery is designed to put out a LOT of power over a very short time(like starting the engine), but they don’t do good for putting out a small amount of power for a long time. For that, you need more of an AGM battery, or you can also use a “multipurpose” battery as they are typically cheaper than AGM batteries, you will just need to monitor the water level in the battery. Also, getting a charge controller would be VERY beneficial as it would prevent over charging of the battery when you aren’t playing the radio. Do a search for solar panel off grid basics. It will help you out a lot.

[@74midwestbass74]

YES SIR BRO!!! Every serious installer needs a test bench!!!

[@NorthFloridaAirGunner]

I just use a 110rms per channel 5.1 a/v reciever that is4ohm capable on 2 channels, a PC power supply to power a rzr2500.1 hooked to the recievers sub out, and a sdr 18 in 4.5cubes tuned to 28hz.

[@dustypotter926]

Xbox one power supply works great and is cheap. I use them in my garage setup. If I remember output is 12.5V 17.5A which is plenty for a head unit and/or small 4 channel amp. Can even run a subwoofer amp if it's small enough. Xbox power supply like 25 bucks online.

[@DIYAudioGuy]

I like that power supply, I may need to upgrade mine!

[@trentdawg2832]

This is what I did in my garage 4 years ago, still running it, audiopipe txx bdc4 12" with a 500 watt rockford fosgate amp and 4) 6.5" three way regular speakers......it bumps, my wife hates it cause it make all the dishes in the kitchen rattle.....lol

[@mattjonesturbo1]

An ac to dc inverter from a Rv is what you want they come in multiple different amperage like 60, 75, 100 they will power everything including a subwoofer amplifier with multiple subs.

[@josephsaucedo8691]

When you want to start going big like over 1000w + a motor home power supply called a power max 150a power supply will do a test bench justice and those batteries you'll be bumping boom bump on bass heads 🎵🎶👍👌✌️

[@joshblanks9479]

What was the most amperage you used when running a head unit and small sub amplifier? I'm trying to find what power supply would be sufficient.

[@mattsnider5904]

Hey Parker you have the best dream job! Bumping bass and finding subs that surpass your expectations. I have a request can you meter the spls for a power acoustic gothic 12 inch. I know you did a review of them, but that was before you had your monstrous Amp and decibel meter. I think for a budget sub they may surprise a lot of people. Thanks bro. Also test your subs with the group bass patrol. Keep up the killer reviews

[@blazeaglory]

Also I use black shrink wrap tubes onto the tin waterproof clear connectors as well because those things are known to have small holes from the heat and sometimes the melted metal is exposed but not visible to naked eye

[@95Sn95]

They sell 30A switching power supplys on Amazon for like $30ish and it powers a head unit and a toro R2 mono block(320w or so rated at 14.4) to most of it's 12v potential anyway.

where do you ground the negative of the car battery?

[@SlamryCamry19]

Hey Parker I'm putting together a competitive audio system in my car and doing it from watching KZbin and researching what I watch I have never been to a show before or even seen a big system in my life anyway I just ordered a new head unit and 8 channel DSP for my 4 channel AAK and my AAK 6k BUT my car (19 Camry) has a head unit built into the dash without many options for replacement so I'm wanting to run a standalone setup until I can afford to swap the dash piece out anyway what I'm wondering is if I am running my speakers off the 4 channel and subs off the mono block then technically all I really need to make the head unit work is power/ground, remote and constant 12v just wanting to make sure I'm learning as I go and like to verify my thinking is correct

[@spicy4kaction]

Hey Parker, So I have the same DC inverter and when I plug it onto my head unit, it works for 5-6 minutes before it starts to cut out and then the head unit displays “DC error” how can I fix this?

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

The amps on the converter needed to be tuned up probably

Im trying to figure this out lol. It's too much. Might as well just buy some expensive speakers for music

[@PBasschannel]

this can be also your simple test bench...I have one too, and it is portable, but it is without a battery, because I dont need to save the head unit's settings yet...so, I have a 13,5 V / 40 A power supply, a 2x95 WRMS - 4 Ohms / 2x150 WRMS - 2 Ohms / 1x300 WRMS - 4 Ohms bridgeable 2 channel amp with a bass knob on RJ11 connector, and an ancient Sencor head unit without bluetooth, but with 4 fullrange RCA outputs, 1 switchable mono RCA output for sub (I dualled this), front aux input, rear aux input - where I can wire a bluetooth adapter easily (and of course 4 speaker outputs)...these 3 things I've mounted on a piece of wood, so I can hook it up everywhere I want, and also I have a bonus option: I can plug into amp any RCA output type depends on what kind of speaker I have to test out, not just adjusting the amp, because the sub output from the head unit have some kinda boosted bass signal like the fullrange outputs, so with the same amp gain more power comes out of the amp for the sub, especially when I plug this signal to the amp's both inputs...so...

How do you know who’s many volts to transfer to power 2 10s

[@BigSteve_Gaming187]

I purchased the same kinetic battery to use as a 2ndary battery for the rear, but it wasn't enough. Kept peaking and dipping in sound level. Granted, yes, it says up to 1,000 watts RMS, and I am running 1,800-2,000 watts RMS between the 4 channel Orion XTR750.4 and CT-SOUNDS 1000.1D Monoblock so I did the same thing as this b4 seeing this vid as of today. Currently, I am extremely pleased with my Yellowtop Optima. I am using a battery isolator. However, the volt meter doesn't dip below 14.2 volts, slamming it close to full for an hour, driving on highway and interstate. So, no complaints. I still have my old-school pair of 10-inch 3-way home system speakers and a pair of 12 3 ways to use in the garage with my old head unit since I upgraded the ride with a Maxspeedingrods 7inch android head unit.

Not much of an amp to run off small power supplies. Say if you bought the orion hcca 3000splx......not that taramps krap thats designed for full range concert speakers lol.....ya buddy lol ill not let that one down.....anyways the orion trips 1000 amp clamp from fluke to make its 13800 rms burp. A power supply to accomplish that 1000 + amps of rush current costs more than my car. N most cars at that... But ya dude your right again about the head unit. Funny is my garage has the same setup for a radio but i choose to run a 120 dollar power supply that switches from constant voltage to constant current and is isolated in its own power supply so that even if using a battery while charging from a pw supply wont play radio when in use lol.

[@akrogmeier22]

I'm curious why you actually need the ac to DC converter. Is it to charge the battery or is just an option to have. My garage is not powered and is not close to my house. But I'd like to set up a system using the old car audio I have from years ago. Would I just be able to use a trickle charger to keep the battery charged when not in use and then just hook up the radio to the battery? I know that the battery won't last forever, but I was curious if the converter was a must use?.

Why not instead run a Pro Audio amp and get some PA towers and Car Subs to run instead? well unless that would end up being too expensive? example: Amp: Crown Xti 1000/2000 Mids: Rockville PA 15's(their actually decent for PA somehow) Subs: any 12-15 inch Skar or American Bass subs of your choice. hell could even go lower down if you wanted.
