Thanks for watching! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
This is tbe video i was searching for. Surprisingly adter 7 years this is still the best video on how to do this 😂 im veey suprised theres not many videos on youtue about how to do this
Ya haha I made this video quite a while ago. Thank you
absolutely magnificent, thank you for this video
Thanks, people were giving duff tips and you solved it simple. I am doing it with batteries.
Did it work she. You used a battery with it
Great instructional video bro! Thank you! Subd
For the PSU connect all the yellows and all the blacks. The beauty of electronics is they will only use as much power as they need up to what can be provided by the PSU.
If u get two power supply one to run the car radio the other to run the amp I had three power supplies one running the car radio the other two was running two amp one amp was a 2500 watt sundown running two 15s and the other was running the pioneer 800watt amp that ran my 12s it got pretty loud in one room so
Nice very detailed video...different from other video.
Best vid ever helped me so much thanks
Thank u very much .very very super , very clearing speaker connected
After trying this myself, unless you have ADEQUATE (according to your power needs) spare pc power supplies just lying around to use save yourself a HEAP of trouble and order a PowerMax or similar "RV power converter" that is purpose-built for converting 120 VAC to 12 VDC. They come with an American standard 3-prong plug and the same type of set screw connectors you see on the amp in the video for connecting the power cables. It's the closest thing to plug-and-play you're going to find for this type of application. A 45-amp model that should be sufficient for most systems currently runs $112 on Amazon. I bought the 100 amp model and have used it to power a 4-channel amp to feed two 6x9s and a dual voice coil mini sub, the head unit, and have plenty of room to expand or upgrade in the future. I'm still building the box but the end game is a portable sound system to travel with my portable projector.
dude you are the man,...is the laptop audio out, is it an (aux) into a splitter or what?sorry im lost but compared to other videos i could tell this was the one for me, thank goodness for this video! im so excited to get my rig goin now, thanks for your help Colley PArk!
Cool thank you !
Nice video mate!
Thank You!
Great job bro, if you can add car equalizer you would get amazing results but I'm gonna try this and add it because Xbox power supply did perform well on my system it only give 9A that y
Did the same but mine is powered by a portable jump starter with a charger that kicks on when the battery drops to a certain point and I have a little Bluetooth receiver that plugs into the headphone jack that feeds the rca to the amp so I have wireless music it's awesome eventually the system will be going in the car
I just ordered a power supply, please lord don’t let me fry my shit when I attempt this!!
How did it go? Was it succesfull? no fire?
Daniel M. - haha. Everything turned out perfect! I was able to bump for awhile in the house, but now I live in a different place and kinda sold the sub I was using,..now I just bump in the car like normal! Thanks.
@@glockinshpiel Nice now I am less scared that it worked for you, i am not that scared of setting my room on fire haha
Where do u order the power supply?
@@jakehoerner4529 I got mine on Amazon I believe. Or maybe it was eBay? I literally don’t even need mine anymore bc I don’t have the living situation that allows for an indoor system…I should just send you mine haha.
To get maximum amperage from these power supplies you need to twist ALL the yellow wires together and an equal number of black for ground.
Charles Henry No, you actually have to do math and figure it out. The wire size, amp load... Oh why bother
no, please explain to me because im about to do a similar project myself. it would help a lot!
@@NoMoreBsPlease bruh... combining the wires is the same as using a lower gauge wire. The current limit increases.... Charles is correct...
Man, i will try this soon
How did you you connect a 4 channel amp to 2 channel input ?
For power supply, you can use a car battery with a battery tender so you always have a full battery charge. The power supply taken from PC's or other sources other than car batteries need to be cautious with because home electric is 120V AC and mobile electronics is 12V DC.
220v if you’re in europe
You can draw more power cutting the yellow and blacks and making a higher gauge of each by grouping them together
do you wire for example 2 yellows to a 10 gauge wire or just 1 yellow wire to a 10 gauge for more power?
and also does a higher wattage power supply have more cables or not?
All.i know if that the higher wattage psu the more power there is on the cpu pins and motherboard pins not hdd pins,
@@siper6492 It will never transfer more power than the smallest size wire in the connection.
Thanks 😀😀
I've been looking around online for a good power supply to do this with the PC psu thing might be ok but I don't think it's good enough for maximum output due to low amperage. I found a 12v 100 amp power supply on Amazon for like 177 I think something like that would be better. My dad has a setup in his garage he's using a shuriken battery that I had and a battery charger/jumper and its pretty good but there still is power loss at high volume I want something that's going to be good at high volume.
Good job
can we rattle stuff?
if i get a subwoofer that has a 5000w (max output) what can of power supply would i need?
Hey man what’s the name of your PSU you said 850w but what’s the voltage 12v ?
3 questions!
Where do I get the little short connector?
Can I use a cord to make one or is it a specific wire that I need?
Can I do the job without one?
Sweet
Will my 450 watt psu work with a 600 watt car amp pushing 2 8inch
Nice video, question do you have a video using the same technic but with a car radio and the whole system as you show in this video???. Thanks and kept it up the Good JoB. LAter.
Just add another power supply or if u a laptop or xbox 360 charger for the radio and hook regular rcas to amp to radio
Don't forget people, if you running an amp that has like six 40Amp fuses for example, you won't be able to power it from a computer power supply unless it delivers 240 amps or more, and the gauge of the wires are like 0 gauge. Running a small amp that has a single 20Amp fuse or something like that, then yes a computer power supply would be ok.
I followed the tutorial exactly and before i hooked anything up to the amp i plugged the psu into the wall to make sure it works. the indicator light came on and the fan started spinning. but after unplugging it and hooking up the wires to the amp, yellow to the power terminal with a little jumper wire going from the power terminal to the remote terminal and the black wires to the ground i plug the psu back into the wall but now the indicator light wont come on and the fan doesn't spin. any idea?
0:52 Did you do this?
@@tincup1956 ...Need load in Red wire...Connect 10 ohm Resistor between Red and Black...Problem Solved.
amazing setup dude!
how did you know which psu will be compatible ? in respect to wattage etc
ZA SH asking as it’s 12 volts it will work, you just a need a little bit more power than the amp is rated for to get full output
Where do you find this power supply??
I dont have that big connector at all in my power supply do i still take those colored wires?
Quality
What if you wanted to do two dual enclosures (four subs in total)?
How would i add a single din radio to this or pair to a TV for audio?
thx for this vid, it was verry helpful and easy to understand. tiny question tho, doesnt the psu keep power stored for a while after unpluging or am i dead wrong here? in this case we are not prying it open but still =) . need to add a question, if the psu has an on switch, do i still need to hook the green to a black? or will it be missing the green?
Yes, a PSU would have capacitors that hold a charge for awhile. After disconnecting main power, wait about ten minutes and then test the voltage before starting work. If you're doing this type of work you should be using a multimeter. You'll want to use a jumper to make sure you have a good test (don't try sticking the tester directly into the "hole" on the PSU connector because it probably won't reach where it needs to go). Under 50VAC is considered "touch safe" by OSHA but you might not like getting zapped by 50VAC. If your curious what it might feel like, go out and touch your doorbell wires because those should be 1/2-1/5 of what 50VAC feels like but you can find out exactly by checking your transformer label before trying it.
Why did you use a jumper from the 12V+ to the remote? Why not just use another yellow wire from the power supply to power the remote turn on?
There's a good reason why he didn't do that he needs all of the 12 V the power supply has to go to 12v input on the amp. the amp only needs a tiny bit of power not 40 amps. he should've used all of the yellows in the positive and all the blacks in the negative which is a mistake use everything the power supply has to avoid burning up the PSU
rmblwgn thats exactly what i was thinking. Why did he leave some yellow wires
If there is no green wire ...what other wire is wise to use with the black ????
Hey, I have an old hifi music system whose CD reader and other ports are not working, only the radio is working. Is is possible to make the system run on the car sterio head using the power supply and amplifier of the hifi music system?
How do i combine car and with home stereo amp
hi dear i have sonyXM-N502 amplifier 2.1 channel can i connect in it 2 speaker and one subwoofer sony 1350 peak watt maximum 300 watt XS-GTX121LT in the bridge
What’s your set up?
But can u play normal songs on a subwoofer ...wouldn't it burn the sub coil?
Everytime i try to hook it up and do the jump it cuts the power to the power supply and doesnt turn on so how do I fix this problem?
how much volts up need to push the amp
Can car amp and car stereo run on 1 psu? I just try but amp don't run but player ok. Why?
How do you hook up a 5800watt kuerl car amplifier to a Xbox one 220w 17.9 power supply
How could I connect my cvr kicker and 1000watt crunch amp to a TV 🤔🤔
How many channel amp is that?
will it work without an aux splitter or aut adapter lol i aint got all that shit nore the capeabitlity to get it, no stores around me have either
My source comes from RCA's connected to home theater system.
Why does mine shut off when turned up?
quick question for you, you are using bridged connection for the sub woofer right ? thanks man
It appears that way because of the gap between where he connected the wires Typically the connections are + - + -... or - + - +.... Make sure your amp is bridgeable though because not all are.
Uhh the yellow Is The 12v And the Black Is Ground wire On the Amp
TO DETERMINE HOW BIG OF PSU LOOK AT SIZE OF FUSES UR AMPS HAVE AND ADD TOGETHER. 50amps? Buy a 30- 40amp power supply assuming you are not gonna be an idiot and turn the gain adjustments to max. Its not a fkn volume knob ppl, its to match your max radio volume without clipping
Name of song?
OoooOoOOOo kicker l7
For the pc power supply what do you recommend if your pushing dual 1500 rms subs I have a bunch of power supplies but not sure what I should use...
is 850 enough?
@@chobitschii6411 U=R*I, Use the amps specs and 12V (PSU voltage). Watts=Volt * Ampere
How do u figure out how big of a psu that u need to use?
600watt psu is enough for 4 chanel amp use a branded company supply
Just do the math. For the system I’m about to make i need 1200 watts. I’m just gonna buy a 1200-1400 watt supply. Would rather have a 1400 watt for additional head room. You dont want to do the bare minimum because u can fry the psu. Allow some head room.
I did everything but when I hook up my jumper it shuts off the psu please help
Make sure you're only connecting to jumper to the REMOTE port, not positive to negative! That would short it out!
Everybody's showing how to hook up the amplifier at home but they're not showing how you turn it off without a making the speakers pop! I used a Xbox One power supply. Are connected a toggle switch but when I turn the switch off it makes the speakers pop. No one is showing how to turn it off without that happening!
how you connected to only speaker RCA and run the woofer as well ??
I want to know the same thing
They use the same signal. Only different frequencies that you can tune with LPF/HPF. He has bridged the woofer on two of the channels.
i have 1000 watt amp . how much watt of psu i need ?
Davinder Singh 1000watt
Or the sub
U may wanna run those 6.9 on a separate 4 channel
Thanks bro, I'll probably do that.
No the 4 channel is perfect for bridging 2 4ohm 6x9.it's the subwoofer that should have its own MONO amp.subs sound like shit on 4ch
When your remote wire is bigger than the power and ground.... Wtf.
Can I get a stronger computer power supply?
Idon geeva faq YEP MORE THE BETTER AMPERAGES..
You are a LOT better off finding a server power supply (can be folund cheap used online) that is more powerful. That, or one of the meanwell or megawatt brands with minimum 50-70 amps.
For fucks sake ppl dont use only 1 or 2 of those yellow 12v wires into your amp. You need every bit of power it has. Hes already choking that amp with undersized power supply assuming he gonna be cranking the hell out of the gain knob as everyone loves to do
Can you boost to 100% sound power
it will not take a lot of electricity when you get to the end and destroy power
Help anyone.i have old house speaker 800watt the woofers got dry rotted.can I take them out and Hook up car woofers speakers to my house speaker.car woofers has ground wire
PonyTail Gitty Up yeah as long as the plate amp on the back of the subwoofer puts out 800w rms (constant power) you can replace it with a 800w rms sub or lower. I recommend Skar audio because they are not to expensive but are on of the best car audio companies out there. Hope this helped!
@@jayy3539 Thanks.i want to get those 2 house speaker working on my home system not working up car system in house.so if I remove bottom boomers and put Those car Boomers in have to gound it not sure where.need those two old home speakers working.so got all 13 Jam'n and neighbor in 4-6 blocks.again.if you think of any other Please let me Know.I try.i thinkgotta jump wires. But don't want to Fry them Thanks again
Where can I find a computer power supply online?
Anywhere. Just search “1000 watt psu”
Psu stands for power supply unit. You can get them on Amazon, NewEgg, lots of websites
They are usually relatively cheap as well
How do u put bass ?
sager R
Amp has a selector for HPF/FULL/LPF. you set it to low pass filter LPF to let only bass come out of that channel which is connected to the sub. In this video he used 2 channels and bridged it.
@@junaidgt90 so for this example as in the video how many channel amp should i use to play with 2speakers and 1 sub ?
@@sagerr735 hi.
The video is about 4 channels Amp and you requirement is the same.
To connect sub, you would do a bridged connection by connecting to any 2 channels; you will see it will be labelled as BRIDGED mode.
Example channels 1&2 for left right speakers and channels 3&4 used in bridged mode for your sub.
ALSO when using a PC power supply at home you will get around 11.9 volts. Make sure to dial your Gains right. Definitely dialed much lower than you would do in car with 13.9+ DC volts. I always use a 30$ Digital Oscilloscope when moving my setups between car and home.
There are several videos showing how to set gains and avoid CLIPPING.
hope that helps my friend
@@junaidgt90 so i need a 4channel?
Please research before you go plugging shit into walls y'all! My daddy was a fishman so trust me... I get it. Mom was a nun....am I doing it right? Lol!
what is the name of the amp
Its a performance teknique amp
What?!
Check dig. Nice video bub, but do you mind mind if I throw you a tip? Or 3 maybe? Just the tip I promise this time! 🤭🤫🐿️
All jokes aside I was light- weight disappointed after viewing. I assure you that the reason isn't because of you so much as it is those who taught you how to teach. You and a mass majority were conditioned that way for a reason. It keeps the student dependent. Knowledge truly is power my friend! It seems that the average "go to" curriculum and way to teach is and has been pretty much all memorization. It has taken the place of cognitive thinking and leaves the student handicapped so to speak not being able to problem solve when something isn't working. It can even be deadly. Variables are always a factor and sometimes the way they showed us doesn't work... Right?? Then what? If we only were taught HOW it works. Things like understanding the difference between AC and DC current. Ergo the reason one must use a power supply from lets say... A cpu. It acts as a transformer converting AC current (household electric) into DC current (batteries) as well as a 12v power source to safely and successfully power the car amplifier enought so that our speakers emmit the sound we desire. Matching wattage and oHMs and all that is a lesson for another day. all of that is very critical information!
I'm done busting your balls bub...
You can show a man to fish ( how to bring the hooptie into the home) and he eats for a day (bumps for a little bit)
Teach a man how to fish ( how it works in order to maintain it ) he will eat for a lifetime! ( Ain't gotta call your non informative ass when something ain't working right ) 🤣😂
THE POWER IS YOURRRRRRSSSS!🐿️
What is the song?
