Installing a car sub in my home stereo.......
|
| I fell kida dumb, but... I just took the subs out of my car, and I was wondering how to hook them up in my house to my home stereo. I don't know much about that kinda stuff, but if I could get some help that would be great. |
|
white thug | yea yo i got sum crappy lanzar sub hooked up in my room it hits pretty hard and its only gettin 100 watts so i guess if ur subs suck and got a low rms then they would be fine runnin them |
|
Hydralisk | Yo, ya I got a pair of 12" Jensens I had hooked up to my home stereo with a 120 watts going through them. It works pretty good then I got Fluance speakers which are 10 times better. If you want bass in your stereo system just buy a cheap powered subwoofer you can get them for under 100 bucks, sony makes one for 70 dollars. But if your going to do that just buy all of you sh** of ebay, thats what I did and im happy with the sh** I bought. |

bdm | If you want to hook up two 4 ohm subs like you are saying then just run them in a series. This will make them 8 ohm which wont blow your amp, that is if your useing a house amp. If you don't know what series is then just connect the + from one sub to the - on the other sub. Then run the left overs to the amp. |

| I'm hooking up my car woofers to my house speakers ('cause i took them out to allow for other modifications to the truck) and i was wondering how you would go about doing such a project, the more detail the better. thanx just email me if you know how to do this. |

Anonymous | 12 v power supply |
|
Anonymous | after i hooked up my Car stereo with a 12 v power supply i put it loud and the radio turned of like it ran out of power |
|
Anonymous | Yea, car audio shops have this problem too. It because the power supply you are using is probably not big enough. I dont know too much about it. You could try a Cap |
|
DeLoit | Go buy a 110V (AC) to 12v(DC) converter and hook it all up. Get at least 50A converter if you are going to hook an amp up. |
|
deandre | how can u hook a amp up |
|
weezee | im a fruit faget |
|
Anonymous | voltage plays no role... its all in the ohms and watts most home stereos put out x # of watts at either 4 ohms or 8 ohms... car subs run at 4 ohms or 2, for the most part... so you dont need a converter... all you need to do is makesure you dont over do it with your home amp, you could fry it up turning it up really loud to make the car sub hit... ~!@# |

Anonymous | hey...i bought 2 10' bulldog subwoofers and gut hooked it up to my stereo the has no sub output...so u put it in the voice input and it plays like a speaker..their 600 watts.. |
|
Anonymous | Why not just go to Partsexpress.com and buy a home stereo sub amp and use your car subs or what ever you want and not have to deal with a battery charger or some other hack job |
|

big bad wolf | i whant to know is it possible to hook up a car cd player in my house cuz is gots its a mp3 player |

BlaSteR | Man, how many of u have killed your gear cause u dont know wat ur doing..? Firstly the power supplys needed by car amps/decks have to be able to output high current..(just like a car battery), of which ur average aus$25 12v converter isnt ganna cut it.(in other words ur ganna kill the amp/deck cause low current is WORSE than excess current). Secondly if u run a car sub thru your home amp a) u need to make sure the impedence is the same (all aus home amps r 8 ohm and car is 1-4 ohm) so u need 2 4ohm subs in series for home amp. This means the wattage being pumped out of the amp is going to be reduced by more than half cause u need to run 2 subs. and b) unless u have a active or passive crossover in line then the subs ganna be getting the full frequencys (low and high sounds) this can seriously damage a sub/amp as its NOT designed for this use... Finally it is possible to connect any source up to any amp if u know wat ur doing (i have a portable mp3 player hooked up to my car system) I do have more to say just cbf, but i did get a laugh outta this discussion (specially all u americans and ur slang) so i thought i might give some warning of the damage that can result, and for those that have done this and it works i guarantee that u will have a problem eventually! |

ax | Here is a little electricity lesson. Voltage == Current. (So "12v power supply has to put out high current" is wrong %^%$. 12 volts is all the current it will put out. I think what you're trying to refer to is wattage!) |
|
| HEre's a systems for yeah. I hooked up my 300 watt jenson amp and sony explode 760 watts ,,I found some old car batteries and tosed theam in my room and found a good battery charger, for subs a one 15" kicker COmp Vr and 2 12" mtx 6000 series. I bought a db reader from radio shack my room hit 130db , running at around 12 volts , so im stilling missin out on my rms power but my system pounds louder then some cars, |
