Trying to find a 110 volt power supply to power a 12 volt car radio for installation and sound testing. Looked on-line and need a recomendation as to what to use/buy.
Thanks, Greg |

Don't think you will get a "clean" sound by powering with a standard Battery charger. They tend not filter out the AC to well.
Other than a more expensive filtered power supply, a fully charged 12 volt battery with NO charger on it is the best way to get the cleanest power source (only DC, with no stray AC sine) your radio will sound just like it does in the car. JMO |

Well excuse me.....who gives a flying fuch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) The OP said he want's to test the system in his car...you know that thing that makes all kinds of loud aircooled type noises when it is actually running. He didn't say anything about wanting audiophile quality sound out of the thing. AND if he does want audiophile quality sound what da fuch is he doing fuching with a car stereo for? BTW a buddy of mine has powered the same old pioneer deck off of his battery charger for the last 30 years in his little one car garage. Works just fine, no hum, at least not enough to worry about in a garage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
