Hey Guys,
I've been wanting to do this for a while, and some speakers have popped up for sale here so I thought I should get it going already.
I've just got some major questions that'll stop this if the answer is no or otherwise.
Firstly: Can a Headunit from a car get adapted to get powered by AC? (240v) I know it'd have to be changed to DC for a start and have a voltage change. If not I'd have to run it off a car battery.
Secondly: The power plug for headunits, can you just buy the other end (car's end not HU end) or would I have to go searching wreckers for it and rip it out of the car?
That's mainly what I can think of, because once I can do this, I can power the speakers off the HU. Was gonna run 2x4", 2x6" and run 2x 6x9's off an amp.
The reasoning behind this? It'd be handy just do have something like this to bring out at parties and all that, it'll be all in one ply wood box so it'd be moveable and can be set up on a table. And also if I get a HU with AUX in then anyone can plug in their iPods/MP3's and if we want the radio we can do that too... Plus it'd be cool lol.
