I actually just did this tonight. It worked great. I did some upgrades. I mounted PSU inside a speaker box and mounted the car radio on top of the speaker box.
Very cool tutorial, reminds me the good old days when I was a kid. My friend's brother had an 8 track player (remember those) that he took with him everywhere. He rigged up a car charger to run the thing in his bedroom! It looked pretty funky, but man some great music poured out of that thing: Cream, Jimi Hendrix, The Allman Brothers Band, Big Brother and the holding company, and some other really great stuff. Thanks for the tutorial!
This works great! I didn't have a yellow coming off the same big plug like you so I used another from one of the other plugs and it works great! Very good video! Thanks!
Thanks so much man, The only problem I have with this video is that not every power supply is the same, but mine was so thank you, worked like a charm.
Great video, was able to test my clarion head unit i had laying under my bed for 5 years. Gonna install it in my new car. Just wanted to add, some head unit's have two yellow power cables, you just have to tie all 3 of them together (both yellows and the red)
Thanks! I need to do this, I have a nice Alpine car Radio/MP3 player that has been sitting around for 5 years after I bought a new truck. I could use this when I am working in the garage.
great video thanks , if you have the antenna connection as well if you desire the radio do you just plug it in to the back of the unit and mount the antenna in a free space ?
Thank you for your wonderful video, just one question should I select the yellow and black from the same point or plug where we make a bridge between green and black?? Or I can take the yellow and black from any other plug that u just taped and kept it aside as a dummy stuff??
YEA JUST GETTING TO GRIPS WITH ALL THE WIRING;THE WAY YOUVE EXPLAINED IS FABULAS THANKYOU,JUST GOT TO PUT ALL THIS IN MOTION FUNNY ENOUGH IVE GOT THE SAME CD FACEOFF [ALL GOOD]........WISH ME LUCK? ROBERT JONES
Excellent video my friend I have a wicked question for you I have done this to die and I've managed to run to stereos but I want to run six in total of the cables from the IP you which ones do I use
Wow you doing great video and its so helpful. I always thought it would be so hard like rocket science but you making it easy. Thanks buddy, I'm gonna try this tomorrow. Thanks a lot man.
Nice idea on the cheap and for quick checks... but a deticated regulated DC power supply running +13.8v with at least 5amps, 10amps if testing a radio in conjunction with a small amplifier, would be much prefered.
thanks bro,that was very helpful i thought i fried my stereo and bought a new one then i decided to test it and it so happens i got a computer laying in shambles in my spare bedroom ,tested that shit now im up 160. dollars
Great V!deo .... very neat.. thank you man! just want to know , how many 12V device i can use at a same time? if my 4 device all together 200w , needs 10A minimum , do you think it will work safely ? Thanks again ....
@playgenie but doesn't he say at 0.19 that you can't connect it to wall plug because it is 120volts? Don't know much about electricity forgive me if I'm wrong
you can do this wihtout damaging the PSU what so ever( as i just did) connect green and a black from your 20+4 pin with wire or a paper clip and turn it on and it should kick on fans included. then just put the black from the stereo into a black and just touch your red and yellow to the yellow of your PSU should turn on. i wouldnt use it like this for very long however.
+Ian Hankins computer psu are pwm suppluies duss not recomendet for audio usage better of using a transformer and a bridge rectifire a car battery charger works well if you dont plan on using it a 100% than youre good with around 6-12amp but if you have a lets say 4x50 w than you want a 25-30a supplie and also if you have a big cap put it on the chardger too this will ensure clean power heck if youre really into it ad a coil to even more clean the power but yeah you dont want to use smps suplies
black wire is negative(-), yellow and red are positive (+). is that correct? and i need to know on how many amp (ah) is good for car stereo? 12v 5ah is this enough on it?
I wanna say one think, you are amazing. Cus you say the thinks clearly and slow and you show how you do all the stuff. I saw so many Videos but from only this video i undestand, the other videos only show us how many big subwoofer they have or they have done it and try to say how they had make it. Thanks for this v
hi, used this video to convert my old car stereo for home use - worked very well. even the remote control worked! made a bad mistake by letting a speaker wire fall on top of the psu (should have been more careful & taped the connection). now the stereo will not power up & it smells at the back of unit. should i toss the stereo? thanks in advance for any help!
i have a hug Q... i have a 12inch 13000w subwoofer from my car and have a home theater system in my home.. i want to use that sub on my 4.1 home theater bcoz i dont have the car's amplifier.. Problem> when i trun up the volume high the bas sound is get shaded and get low.. im not get any good bas from it... only subwoofer attached to my hometheater i disconnected its own sub.. bt still to heavy for the home theater.. what changes i could make to my home theaters amp to make it work..??
I've followed ur video step by step and wen I turn the PSU on the fan starts like it should but wen I connect the head unit up to it then its shorts out the PSU straight away why is it doing this ? great video by the way I just can't figure out how to get my one to work .

+Vinnie Pie (Professor P) you can use a 9 volt battery for memory backup. connect it, the battery positive+ to the yellow( in most cases) wire on the radio...it may also be blue. and then connect the negative end of the 9volt to the negative or black on the deck. Please note connect this after any switches you may have installed. most important try to find the wire schematic of the deck you are working with so you have a good starting point.
cool video, but I had a laugh when you put the tape on top of the stereo because you didn't want to get electrocuted ????? Dude, you have a psu sitting on a metal washing machine!!!! But otherwise a good instructional video. thanks.
thank you my friend! It worked like a charm. I needed this to make my own portable radio. Now I have one question, is there an easy solution to make some kind of antenna or is it best that I buy one in a carstore? Thank you!
Glad it worked. I have not come across making an antenna before but I wouldn't think it would be impossible to make. Try removing an antenna from a device you no longer use, and have the other end of the antenna plugged in the back of your stereo antenna input
4 years late lol but suppose you still the set up you can go to any autopart store and buy an antenna kit plug it to the back as if you installed it on your vehicle and it should work
Kool video but is it safe to play with electric on top of washing machine. It's like everthing is touching metal surface i don't think electric tape will do any good but still good video.

So what wire would keep the power memory to the deck unit so that it doesn’t loose the memory setting
thanks very easy and straight forward..
Dude you rock...that was easy!
Nice tutorial, dude...!
wesome, very easy to follow, Now Just need to build the case.!!!!
thank you, it works fine!
Works great thank you!
Hello does it make a difference which black wire you use other than the black and the green. Thank You
I love you man, thank you very much
Well done. Thank you.
thanks man worked so happy right know I could to put to use some stuff
do you have to pull plug to power off or can you had switch. and can i run 12volt lights to same wire?
Excellent video my friend I have a wicked question for you I have done this to die and I've managed to run to stereos but I want to run six in total of the cables from the IP you which ones do I use
what is that pin connection you made and what is it hooked to, also what is that on to of radio?
Can you use any black or yellow wire from your psu?
Wow you doing great video and its so helpful. I always thought it would be so hard like rocket science but you making it easy. Thanks buddy, I'm gonna try this tomorrow. Thanks a lot man.
nice, thanks man, its working !!!!
Nice video, thanks for sharing it :)
Did you have any problem with static while using an auxiliary input?
Thx ,nice work ;)

hey, i have Pioneer DEH-3400UB stereo and runs about 14,4 VDC and 10A will be work with this 12 V power supply ?
Good video lorenc27, thanks.
Awesome...I figured it thanks @ jimut.This won't for any reason start a fire or anything would it??
I’m dying at the song that comes on 😂😂😂 that’s def 08/09 😂😂😂😂 that radio def came from a Honda 🤷♀️
perfect vedio demonstration
Great V!deo .... very neat.. thank you man! just want to know , how many 12V device
i can use at a same time? if my 4 device all together 200w , needs 10A minimum , do you think it will work safely ? Thanks again ....
Wat color is your speaker wires from the amp... ?
I got a question! Does that fan produce noise so as to impede the quality of music you listen to?Is it annoying or it's barely hearable.
Thanks a lot man
is the green and diagonal black the remote trigger to power outside of computer???
Can i connect an Aux for the PSU ?
Bro can i use ups for car music player, ups which is used for pc
More easy to buy a 12volt power supply from a charity shop they usually have loads of them , they are also used for media players old laptops etc

when i did this the radio boots up but doesnt stay on. would that be a bad psu? i had an old one laying around. wasnt sure if it had problems or not

i have car stereo home cool. thanks for video cool cool
thanks m8,,works well except when i hook up the second set of speakers then it just screams crazy noises,, god knows what ive done wrong..
I am definitely going to try this out. Would any PSU work though?
Etienne van Dijk read the psu label and look for 12v output. If it says 12v then your good
That was awesome
how much watts the PSU outputs?
we have some old desk tops at the⛪i going to take one apart. can I get one 📻🎶🎼 very cheap?
Use an 12v adaptor its better than battery or computer power supply
how much watts and amps i nees to run a cd player i want use all speakers slots 4 of them
How do you connect one to a quadlock stereo. Rns510
hvala puno ked mene radi :D
Your the best
What about be rest of the connections can you use those to hook up other stuff? Like use one conducted for amp and another for stereo ???
raiders2800 you should be able to. but products that do not waste much energy
yes you can if you want to

I'm trying to copy what your doing but my CPU does not have a yellow wire ! which other color can I use ?

But otherwise a good instructional video. thanks.
😂😂😂😂😂
You can't get electrocuted from any of this. It's 12V.

Which is 120v

Go to a truck stop and buy a radio antenna kit. Comes with wire and antenna
You can buy a car antenna from any electronic store. I got mine from Fry's Electronics for about $14.
I found it at an electronic store. You probably can find it at Radio Shack or other electronic stores.
+lorenc27 thanks for this informative vid. Suppose you want to play FM Radio on this car stereo at home, how to connect the antenna?
4 years late lol but suppose you still the set up you can go to any autopart store and buy an antenna kit plug it to the back as if you installed it on your vehicle and it should work
we can use any 12 v converter beside of pfo
Thanks frnd
does that work for all
I done ALL of this just the SAME...but, my brand new PSU just spin ventilator than stops and radio dont have any power. Please help...any idea?
so what if i have four wire, yellow, red, black and a white what should i do
