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

No need to get stirred up......OP asks "Trying to find a 110 volt power supply to power a 12 volt car radio for installation and sound testing."

The buzzing from a standard 12 volt battery charger will not give a true representation of what the radio will sound like when it is ultimately mounted in the car.

I would definitely not recommend powering a vintage Blaupunkt radio with this battery charger set up. But people will do what they do.

Cheap is OK sometimes, but very often you get what you pay for.
