Can I wire car stereo stuff to work with a AC wall plugin type of thing?
Alright I have a couple different things I would like to try. I have a headunit and 4 speakers I would like to see if I can make a little stereo for the garage or w/e with them but using the wall outlet. Theres so many different wires... is this possible? Also I have a Logitech surround sound and just picked up a Bazooka Bass tube and was wondering if I can add it to my home audio setup?

you would need to buy a converter or a battery charger and use a small car battery.. for how cheap you can get a small stereo idk why you would do it that way though.. you would need to make pods of the sort for the speakers.. just go on cl and spend $20-$50 for a boom box

thats all I needed to know lol I just figured it might be a fun little project lol I wish I could use the bass tube in my room though for the surround sound. It already has a subwoofer but its nothing crazy its just enough to make my bed vibrate and shit but I want a thump.
I need a new gas gauge

I already did this. I did it out of couriosity. I had parts laying around and it worked. Look around for old power adapters you may have. Mind you the radio was a simple low power cd player. Find one that is 12 volts conterted to household voltage and amps that match the radio. Of course this is for the head unit and a couple of small speakers. The draw is small enough. But there is no way you can subs and amps...without having to buy alot of stuff. This is at your own risk info. Don't blame me if it doesn't work the way you would like. Ask an installer first. G/L

use a regular sealed car battery and hook up a car battery charger to it and the wall., use that. Just don't turn your subs+amp all the way up or anything. Try to keep power usage down low.
That's about it!
That's about it!

Waste of time. Car audio equipment is no where near as advanced as home audio. Even most entry-level home audio will sound better than mid-level car audio after you've put all the time and effort into actually getting it to work.

home audio is much more efficient and handles with the built in xovers and everything else they are much better..
