Hey everyone,
I have benefited from this site for years now and am finally getting around to signing up and hopefully being able to contribute in some way.
Anyways, I recently took sold my car and took my stereo out to buy a motorcycle. So, now I have a great car stereo and nothing to do with it for the time being. I had the idea of using my car stereo as a home stereo after going to a local shop and noticing that it sounded pretty decent.
I asked what they were using to convert the 120V power to 12V and they said they had no idea what it was called or where to get one (the installers weren't there), but told me to check online and that search hasn't provided me with much useful information.
I'm thinking I could just get a car battery and attach a battery charger to it to keep it going, but I'm not sure of the dangers/possible failures of doing such a thing.
My stereo consists of: a Jensen VM9411 in-dash TV (Which I would build a mount for), a JL 13W7 sub and a 1000/1 amp, a pair of JL ZR800-CW, and a pair of JL XR650-CXi hooked up to a JL G4500.
Can anyone suggest a possible way to hook this up as a home set-up? Would the battery/charger work well enough to keep it powered up?
Thanks,
