Pros: Can run multiple speakers. I can run 4 and have heard off some people running a sub and amp too! Can use old materials and be even cheaper! Cons: Sound quality depends on quality of materials, so this can go both ways.
If you dont have any of these things it can be pricey. You have the chance of frying your equipment if done wrong. I personally like this and can post a video of it in action if requested by anyone.
Hopefully you enjoyed my first 'ible and maybe I'll make a version 2 someday. Thanks for viewing :]. Thank you, but i did the same and it ran, but when i increase the sound to 25 the sterio deck shuts down, can you please tell me what to do so i can run it at full volume.
I had everything I needed lying around in boxes and just installed a car stereo in my garage using this tutorial. I didn't do the housing box, but rather mounted it all under a shelf. It takes up so little room as opposed to a home stereo, and works great. Just need to figure out the antenna, but as far as just playing CDs it's terrific. Thanks a ton! I followed everything just like you said!! I am working creating the ultimate ps3 desk set up to compliment my 7.
Now thanks to you my old jensen hd multimedia system i brought back in , I had lying around from my old car ,is the center piece of my entertainment hub. Thax once again i will give you a shout out when i debut it on youtube my youtube name is thedon22z!!!! I did this as well This is actually a great idea.
Your own entertainment unit in your office. Don't forget to mount the iPod docking cable on top. It shouldn't take a lot of effort. You could even use an external camera to monitor the front door. That is a lot to spend new for your purpose. Nice you had one lying about. You can probably reduce the size and heat by using a higher amp wall wart or laptop power brick.
If you created a small 12v battery backup it would retain settings and time. That circuit doesn't draw much power. I haven't worked out details but you would need a small simple trickle charger to keep the batteries topped off while the AC power is on.
Reply 10 years ago on Introduction. An iPod dock is planned next but I want a nicer box and nicer cuts first haha. The camera thing is a great idea since I'd be all the way in the back of the house. I could run a couple feet of speaker wire through the attic and connect it. There is a remote to this one too. I just have to find it in the boxes. I should look into your battery idea. Thanks for the tips! Introduction: Car Stereo in Home.
Put everything in the box and if done right should come out good. Unlike mine. Did you make this project? Share it with us! I Made It! Remote Control Light Switch by alanmerritt in Arduino. To do this, simply locate any screws or bolts that could be holding it in and remove them. There is also metal clips connecting it to the dash so you are going to have to pull it off the dash, be careful not to damage any parts of your dash.
Now that your trim is off and our stereo is exposed, remove the four bolts located in each corner of the stereo. Once this is done, grab the face of the stereo and gently pull it out. There is going to be a wiring harness and radio antenna plugged into the back of the stereo, press down the clips on the harness and remove it from the stereo as well as the antenna. When you finally get your new stereo removed, it is time to purchase a Dash Kit. The next item to add to your shopping list is a Stereo Harness Adapter in order to wire up the new stereo.
To install your new dash kit, clip the pieces together and slide your stereo through the face of the dash kit. Screw the sides to the stereo to secure it. Next step is to wire up the stereo harness adapter to the harness that was supplied with your new stereo. The wires need to be connected color to color. The remaining 8 wires are the speaker wires, two for each speaker one positive and one negative.
Simply wire these up color to color just as you did previously. When connecting your harness wires, I recommend soldering and heat shrinking for the best connection possible. Some people simply twist their wires together and then wrap the connection with electrical tape, I would advise against this method as over time the tape will loosen up and fall off resulting in shorted connections.
If you plan on installing subwoofers, now would be a good time to plug in the RCA wires for the amp input into the back of the head unit. Plug the harness and radio antenna into the back of the new stereo and connect the other end of the harness to the stock harness you unplugged from the old stereo, your stereo should now be powered and working.
Now that your stereo has power, play music and test all of the speakers. If they are working, you can know put your dash back together. Introduction: Install a Car Stereo.
