Skill level:1/5 You will need: Car stereo, Speakers, Electrical/insulation tape, Wire cutters, Computer PSU/ATX Thanks for watching! Please comment, rate, subsicribe! More videos coming soon!
I've only just seen your video followed your sort of instructions and i now have a working pioneer head unit powered from an old psu i had in the junk cupboard ...... Cheers :D
Actually, if instead of shorting the green and black wire together, you hooked them up to some sort of momemtary contact switch, like a doorbell switch, you could use that to power the PSU on and off that way rather than shutting it off at the switch. I have a Lightning Audio Power Amp hooked up to my computer for sound and the way I power it is right off the computer's power supply, tapping one of the unused Molex connectors it would use to power an old school IDE hard drive or CD Rom drive. What I did rather than modifying the actual PSU cabling was found a male Molex to Sata power adapter and cut the Sata power end off. Only trick if you're planning to go this route, make sure your computer's PSU has enough power to run both your computer the way it's configured as well as the amp you plan to use, especially if it's a high powered unit like the one I'm using, also for safety, I advise putting an inline fuse on the power lines to protect your computer's PSU if the amp shorts out or overloads it.
I tried it myself a while back, and found out I was in fact wrong about the momentary contact switch idea. I am hereby printing my retraction, I stand corrected
Did everything exactly like in the video and left with few questions. How to make it turn on automaticly when PSU turned on? And secondly, how to keep fm stations in memory? Otherwise very good video and you did explain everything well 😎thanks!
Smps is a good option for playing the car stereo at home if you don't mind the car stereo not saving your audio settings due to lack of constant power supply.
a car sterio (not home...) needs a battery with enough amps to feed the sterio because the compact unit does not have the appropriate power supply features that our home sterios have, being that they use ac rather than a forced dc current in which the battery does not force the power. laptop battery with an external charger is your best bet and can be very portable for short times (about an hour)
enjoyed this m8,cheers,, done it today,, only thing is when i try and hook up a 2nd speaker i,m just gettin a barrage of noise,, havent a clue what i,m doin wrong and its doing my nut right in
I follow all your steps. But the only thing l'm having trouble with is that my fuse from the Car stereo will close the circuit. Making no electricity run to the stereo.
i got a car cassette player, but it doesnt got the multipin connector in the back. There are some cables just going out from the inside, i made the connections with the psu, it powers up fine, but now only 2 cables left, one green and one blue? how can i connect speakers to these cables?
I'm trying to hook up a audiopipe apcl-1500 to my power supply. Its a atx 300w... have everything hooked up correct...green to black yellow to power and black to ground.. I turn it on and power supply shuts off after few seconds... But if I use a 12vdc adapter to wall which only pulls like 2 amps it works.. but not pay...why is this?
No matter what people say but my music system is working.. thanks a ton!!! Bro need a help fixing the whole system. I mean, can I connect my 4 channel amp on the same psu? If yes how?? And my system consist of 2 sony speakers, 1 sony sub woofer and a sony 4 channel amp and sony car audio. Please post a video!!
health. Please advice. I would also like to involve home the car radio via PC source. and I have a problem with the car radio. I have a car radio cables: red with fuse, yellow-red, orange, brown, blue, and two such small cables brown and violet. I do not know how what cable harness.? 'cause I do not have the yellow and black. So please advice thanks Jendos
Anyone figure out the memory problem? I currently just turn the radio off/standby and leave the psu on, powering the enclosure fans. I am looking at using psu 5 volt standby and a 12v boost circuit
Here is my problem, and no-one ever says this, I have an 850W PSU... I doubt it but would I be able to do it with that? All the videos I have watched they say, "Oh well just grab a PSU and cut this shit then hook these together.. ETC." But wait.... you forgot to mention, what PSU are you using is it a 115, 230, 250... What!? Details help tremendously, other then that you done good.
Actually you are partially right, the design is mostly the same as the small wattage PSU he is using because there is a yellow and a black (Quite a few actually), but there is also a blue, which I found doubles the amount of voltage. So if you want around 24 V for anything, look for a blue wire and use the yellow with it.
+črt labinjan lmao our school has some expensive ass graphics cards in the computer room for heavy designing. if ya see where im going with this.. ;) HAHA
one yellow to yellow, and one yellow to red. Jesus, why are all these videos so uninformed! And honestly if the power supply isn't going to stay on, you don't need the yellow on the stereo.
