Car stereo for the garage..what power supply?

[Arthur2017]

Hi Everyone,

I want to find a car stereo and wire it up to a power supply and speakers and use it in my garage. I've been reading several tutorials, watching videos, and some guys use an old PSU, some use a power inverter...can someone point me to a safe reliable power supply I can use?

An old computer power supply is likely the easiest. The oldest ones has a mechanical switch for on/off. The later models required that you jump green to black in the power connector. You may be able to get one for simply asking at any shop that repairs/upgrades computers.

How about a SMPS for LED. I use the older 300W version of this: https://www.amazon.com/XINCOL-Switc...UTF8&qid=1498074925&sr=8-50&keywords=12v+smps

voltage is adjustable and mine goes to 13.9v
