Powering Car Audio in your House - a better solution than PSUs!

[boilersrock1]

This is pretty much how a power supply in your home stereo is put together (less battery, of course): Transformer -> Rectifier -> Large filtering capacitor.

DOU HAVE A PARTS LIST AND A DIAGRAM HOW TO WIRE IT UP

[poweracoustik267]

Can u say fire hazzard

[meade9166]

very good,but you'll have to make it look cleaner

[m35a2lover]

dude i like your stuff but your wiring is soo confusing

[1misanthropist]

" I got an old microwave downstairs....................­..." hahahahaha kid the you kill me. Damn you're innovative. Seems like you really have a passion for this stuff. I really enjoyed your vid. Keep making and posting these vids.

yo at maplin they sell 230 ac conveters to 12 volts is there any way i can get them to kick 14 please help

[crb19961]

yo barevids i wanna run my car amp at home on 14.4 v can u send me a dia gram on how2 wire this and will a psu pump it hard can it get to 14.4v

[BobKickass1215]

AC DIMMER SWITCH WOULD HELP WITH THE POWER

THAT WAS EASY

[musician1232]

Could u tell me were to get all that stuff

[7StringsAreBetter]

((follow-up post)) What you have there is simply beautiful; a work of art. Love the creativity. +10: Creative _ +11:Unorthodox _ +100: MAD SCIENTIST.

[[ As my user-name suggests, I play 7 stringed guitars...dropped to A. In my full stack -2_4x12 cabs- one of the cabs is running 4 x 200w 2-Ohm car subs.. LOL. (love some "Death-Chugs"). Getting that wired without blowing 2 Heads and a mono-block pwr amp was FUUUN.But when a palm-mute makes your heart skip a beat - its sooo worth it. ]] TakeCare

First of all, i haven't even finished watching the video yet BUT - I really wanted to give you some props for insisting on PROPER wiring technique, tools, and pointing out safety when dealing with high Amp/Current rectification & "'bare-wire' what-will-this-combination-do" experiments. Awesome rig/job btw. I'll go finish the vid now :) - PeAcE

p.s. Again, brilliant usage of those "spare parts". Never toss 'old junk' out - it could be used to do... well... ALOT. lol [GoGo FrankenAMP!!]

[bMacProductionsXL]

Safe

[TheTRAG3DY]

Can i have the PSU's you disconected/arent using anymore? lol

[STATANAZ]

u got to many cables stupid ass!

[GrateMilenko]

instead of all that mumbo jumbo... ( i totally know what ur doin tho) just get a decent Car Battery charger with the fast start. mine sits at 14.8 volts with a capability of putting out 75 amps. while still achieving 14 volts. give it a try

[MegaNown]

bigggggggg nouseeeeeee

[andythewooferguy]

whats the track in the background?

[dvsguy2]

will you sell everything up to b4 the batterys like the power module and the transformer things? and alos would you sell all you psu's and your volt meter? i wanna do a home setup but i cant find any of these things

[jessebassmaster]

i Have 15.2 Volts Heheheheh!!!! chek me out :D please and thank you!!! very Much

[patrickman123]

nice 1 bro :-)

[jayholley123]

can u send me the omg usher bass one plz

[jayholley123]

can u send me the omg usher bass one plz

[ManRossDamn]

Damn, that is some awesome voltage.

You should just get a voltage regular, you're not feeding enough power to it with that skinny wiring.

[barevids]

@ManRossDamn yeah over the last few days ive been looking at regs, but getting some that can handle 50A+ is realy hard! ive seen a few circuit diags so ill keep researchin ;)

[barevids]

@ManRossDamn Cheers for the comment - i did actually build the reg, works a dream ;) watch out for my next vid!

[XsubwoofermaniacX]

lol nice ending bro, hey check my vids out, they got nice sound quality and theyll bump with your subs bro

[tehglu]

ah thats sick!

my psu is dying on me

:(

[ducttaperulestheworl]

haha it's amazing that you still can post this video after the explosion

anyway,awesome stuff you're doing there

hope it worked well :)

[andythewooferguy]

all this is too complicated for me

[rebalrouser09]

Hey bro i was wondering how the box design was comeing along

[kwyjibosponge]

yeah my garage is packed full of old computer parts and random power supplies for all sorts of outdated devices

[jfo420]

props to all you fellow audio nerds, and good vid man, good stuff

[kwyjibosponge]

get a decent car battery charger and a regular car battery, bam power supply, just make sure you use the proper filters, few months ago i had my subs in my house hooked up to my receivers preamp outs, i used my 12 volt supply i have for my rc car, it only put out about 10 ams so i wasnt able to crank it but the subs were overkill for my surround setup anyway, good stuff...

[jfo420]

@kwyjibosponge i kind of have the same setup but it gets a constant 15 v cause i got a smart battery charger , so the higher i turn it up it reads the voltage drop and sends more amps to the batterys i got, im using two batterys so it powers my subs real nice, check it out

[barevids]

@jfo420 That sounds good! have you got the batteries sealed in anything? Cos i'd be careful with the fumes they give out!

[jfo420]

@barevids i dont but my room is well ventilated, always got the windows open with fans, not too worried. what type of fumes do they give off, i never knew that actually

[barevids]

@jfo420 you should be alright then - theyre acid fumes which are flammable if theyre too dense, and can also cause harm to you if you inhale them for a long period of time regularly. But if you ventilate well you should be fine :)

[EXOcontralto]

Great Stuffff!!

[barevids]

@EXOcontralto Cheers man :-) I remember watching a vid of yours back in the day of an old synth hooked up in your car...creativeness rocks!

[marksapollo]

You should work for Alpine or someone making demo cars, great idea there.

[bassl0va]

Nice PSU you made there! Does the cap even make a difference? (maybe a comparison vid?)

Be careful with the microwave when you take it apart, you don't want to lose a hand

:-P

[barevids]

@bassl0va Good idea, i might do that, as i have the cap on a switch :)

[thesten99]

@barevids hey can i use a car battery and a power supply together somehow???

like power supply charging batt and batt powering amp....

my voltage is at about 10v when bass hits so i need help ... i tryd to build the same thing but i did not get as many amps as u :( It even timmed the lights on my car radio.....

[mcgerry6969]

lol love the end dude ur jokes 5**** bfam
