Wuzhi ZK-502L 50w Bluetooth Amplifier. Turn any speakers into streaming speakers. The CJ gets sound! 

Thanks Paul. I've got a much newer Weller gun too. But that old one just beats the pants off it in build quality and speed of heating and I reach for it first every time. Also, if someone wants to borrow a soldering gun, I had them the new one. I should get a junk Harbor Freight gun for that. Thanks for watching Paul, take care of yourself!

Well, look on the bright side. It was cheap and you got to blow something up! That's a win/win in my book!

A practice generally frowned upon these days, though you still see it on a lot of Chinese products.

Yea, you're really not supposed to solder wires that go into them, although I've done it in the past. I've got some bootlace ferrules and a crimper, I really like them and will use them in this case.

Ah ok i didnt know that was frowned apon. I tend to solider everything. Even crimps on a car i cut the plastic off, crimp then solider the wire to the crimp then heatshrink on top because here in wisconsin they put so much salt any crimp will cause trouble with corrosion. This liquid salt too they started using the water dries and salt powder is left all over the road. Jeep gets covered with it even just going 1/4 mile down the road, it creeps into spot welds and rusts the jeep away and it coats the engine bay with it so everything rusts.

I dont claim to be a professonal. Like my dad im a jack of all trades, master of none, i solider them, never said it was the right thing to do 😂

Just looked them up, ima have to give those a try somtime. Probably would work better for that clamp type application as solider is very maluable.

The stock CJ-7 fuse box has a connector for the radio, which is what I used, but its not fused. I doubt they intended the radio to be more than 3 to 5 amps. Ive got an inline fuse in mine, I think it's 5 amps.

Looks like a buck converter.

There's a link in the cards for my full build for what I call my "poor man's laboratory power supply" and I'll put it below as well. It's an inexpensive DC to DC boost or step up converter, available on Amazon for under $10. In the video is a link to the one I used as well as the banana plugs and a link to the thingiverse part I made to mount to the power supply.

Mine still works, but the vehicle it's in has been a project and has only been drivable for the last couple of months, so it's not like it's gotten a lot of use. That being said, it does exactly what I want and need it to do, which is let me use my phone in place of a radio.

@@3rdpig got one inbound tomorrow, thanks for the reply.

@@3rdpigDid you submit your case design anywhere?

Sorry, but I'm not enough of an electronics whiz to help with that. You might try asking Paul at the Learn Electronics channel. He's a pretty good dude.

There is a version with line in avaiable

@@3rdpig Got ya. Back to the drawing board. Also, I just lost sound from the speakers i had this amp connected to. Not sure if you have ran in to this problem yet. I have tried multiple devices with no success. I am connecting just fine but NO audio is playing. I am at a stand still. Any suggestions on how to tell if the amp is blown or fixable?

I forgot all about the music copyright. Hopefully I'm too small a fish for anyone to care about. Thanks for watching! And thanks for the hair tips!
