I did this when i was like 13 in my room… instead of buying a house stereo i picked up a deck speakers amplifier and subwoofer from my friends and ran a car battery and used my car battery charger. I used to shake my houses windows lol

My wife and I got a shed put into our back yard that was going to be my work shop. We got 3 quotes to get electricity installed and all 3 were over $2, 000!!! So, I spent $1, 500 and put together a small solar panel setup that has solar panels, a charge controller, 560+ amp/hr of AGM batteries, and a couple of power inverters.

For the radio, I used a basic Bluetooth car radio, have a 4 channel Kicker amp powering a pair of 5 1/4” coax car speakers in the ceiling, and of course a single 8” subwoofer that was on clearance mounted in the ceiling too in a 0.6 cubic foot sealed enclosure! It cranks!!!! Sounds great for the entire back yard, and the solar system puts out enough power to run an 8k BTU window unit so I can work on things in air conditioning!!!

Of course, I wired up a power and ground wire on the work bench so I can test amps and radios too!

YES SIR BRO!!! Every serious installer needs a test bench!!!

I remember me and my older brother doing this in our room we were 14 and 18 . Had a pioneer single deck with a 12" Pioneer Premier tsw-3002spl banging music in our room lol our mom hated it....Good times 🥲

I just use a 110rms per channel 5.1 a/v reciever that is4ohm capable on 2 channels, a PC power supply to power a rzr2500.1 hooked to the recievers sub out, and a sdr 18 in 4.5cubes tuned to 28hz.

Xbox one power supply works great and is cheap. I use them in my garage setup. If I remember output is 12.5V 17.5A which is plenty for a head unit and/or small 4 channel amp. Can even run a subwoofer amp if it's small enough. Xbox power supply like 25 bucks online.

I used a laptop with my garage system. Had a charger on 2 70ah batteries with a 2 into 1 RCA to AUX cable on 2 amps, 12in sub, 2 kicker 6x9s. Great job! Keep up the great content!

This is what I did in my garage 4 years ago, still running it, audiopipe txx bdc4 12" with a 500 watt rockford fosgate amp and 4) 6.5" three way regular bumps, my wife hates it cause it make all the dishes in the kitchen

An ac to dc inverter from a Rv is what you want they come in multiple different amperage like 60, 75, 100 they will power everything including a subwoofer amplifier with multiple subs.

Also I use black shrink wrap tubes onto the tin waterproof clear connectors as well because those things are known to have small holes from the heat and sometimes the melted metal is exposed but not visible to naked eye

I like that power supply, I may need to upgrade mine!

[jimmyjam]

I added a radio in my garage with a power supply for a double din with a set hifonics 6. 5 component and a skar svr 8 subwoofer running off a 4 channel jensen amp budget bill but it sounds good and rattle the garage haha everything runs on the 30 amp power supply 240 watt to sub and 80 watt each to the 6.5 I love it!!!

When I was a teenager I would throw house parties on all car audio equipment I also used to do a little music production and I often used car audio as my play back device because I manly made music so I could listen to what I wanted to hear in my car

[CRXUGLYKID]

You need to do one with multiple amps n speakers in the house for a huge house build. Maybe like a home theater system .build the speaker boxes for front, rear, center channel, sub, and 2 more sets to do 7.1 stereo.we would kill for that video

[PBasschannel]

this can be also your simple test bench...I have one too, and it is portable, but it is without a battery, because I dont need to save the head unit's settings yet...so, I have a 13, 5 V / 40 A power supply, a 2x95 WRMS - 4 Ohms / 2x150 WRMS - 2 Ohms / 1x300 WRMS - 4 Ohms bridgeable 2 channel amp with a bass knob on RJ11 connector, and an ancient Sencor head unit without bluetooth, but with 4 fullrange RCA outputs, 1 switchable mono RCA output for sub (I dualled this), front aux input, rear aux input - where I can wire a bluetooth adapter easily (and of course 4 speaker outputs)...these 3 things I've mounted on a piece of wood, so I can hook it up everywhere I want, and also I have a bonus option: I can plug into amp any RCA output type depends on what kind of speaker I have to test out, not just adjusting the amp, because the sub output from the head unit have some kinda boosted bass signal like the fullrange outputs, so with the same amp gain more power comes out of the amp for the sub, especially when I plug this signal to the amp's both inputs...so...

Good stuff see on the top of the game with SMD and EXO

I bought an 8 gauge install kit, had it in my old suv that i sold, its for my 15” speaker with a 1500 watt amp

[donjaun]

Thanks for the nice video Parker. I had a friend wanting to do this exact thing and I tried to explain it to him but I could tell it was to much so I'm sending him your videos. 🤛🤛

I purchased the same kinetic battery to use as a 2ndary battery for the rear, but it wasn't enough. Kept peaking and dipping in sound level. Granted, yes, it says up to 1, 000 watts RMS, and I am running 1, 800-2, 000 watts RMS between the 4 channel Orion XTR750.4 and CT-SOUNDS 1000.1D Monoblock so I did the same thing as this b4 seeing this vid as of today. Currently, I am extremely pleased with my Yellowtop Optima. I am using a battery isolator. However, the volt meter doesn't dip below 14.2 volts, slamming it close to full for an hour, driving on highway and interstate. So, no complaints. I still have my old-school pair of 10-inch 3-way home system speakers and a pair of 12 3 ways to use in the garage with my old head unit since I upgraded the ride with a Maxspeedingrods 7inch android head unit.

They sell 30A switching power supplys on Amazon for like $30ish and it powers a head unit and a toro R2 mono block(320w or so rated at 14.4) to most of it's 12v potential anyway.
