Can this be used on a 12v car radios hot wire? Am trying to omit parasitic drain. Not concerned about presets.

connect both power wire to the ignition, no need for a switch.orgo to radio shack , befor it closes for good, and get a 12v flip switch and install that in your dash next to you radio sell for like 2$.

This switch is rated at about 3 Amps at 125VAC. IT should be ok in series with the hot lead going to your radio, 12V at about 2A. However it makes no sense to eliminate the parasitic drain of a few ma. Did you measure the parasitic current?

Yes it could work for that though it might be a bit big to fit neatly it will handle 3 A at 125 V ad so in theory it would handle 30A at 12V AC so id say up to a 15A load at 12V DC should be fine power wise. Me personally I'd likely opt for a toggle switch I cloud easily mount through the dash

I wouldn't use this in a home setting and here's why: this unit (and 99% of all automotive electronics) use 12 VDC. Our homes supply 110 VAC. To convert home power to something useable would require a separate transformer-and it would need to be much bigger and more robust than a simple wall wart. You could do it but it could be costly. Would it sound good? Possibly, but the sound of this sub is designed for the small space of a car-which helps low end response-not a room, even a small one.

Depends on your install. If the hot wire is switched it will. Recommend you do it that way. Great product works well.

you'll get 12v & 1amp on each channel. If voltage matches, amperage matters little.

Yes it can but 1st keep in mind that most modern day transceivers are probably rated with a 13.8 volt supply as that is what automotive systems usually average. So you may not get full rated power. There is a trimmer pot on in so so may me able to up the voltage on it but i don't know how much it will vary. Also see if you can get an actual current draw figure of your equipment at full transmit so you'll know more exactly how much headroom you'll have and how much demand you're actually putting on the power supply.

Patrick: I cannot answer your question directly except to say that I looked up the spec's for your radio and it says that the vehicle power cord for this unit is rated at 5v output so it shoud work properly, (especially if the plug going into the radio fits properly). I hope this helps.... If it blows out the radio, then there is too much power going to the radio. If on the other hand, the power cord blows out and NOT the radio, then there is too much power going into the adaptor and it will blow the fuse therein. Make sure you only have 12v going into the power cord fromt he vehicle's battery.

While it supplies 12 volts what matters most is the amps required by your stereo and all (if any) accessories. The charger I have states 5 amps. The radio should list the power draw on its spec sheet. If its minimal you may get lucky but considering it looks like you want to run the radio near a household outlet there are better options that will do what your looking for. You could even consider using an old computer power supply and tap off the 12 volt line. Good luck.

Not unless you plan on having a 12 volt 10 amp power supply to run it. This Eq amp was designed for automotive applicatins, not home audio.

I have limited knowledge of the technical aspects of car stereo as my installation was completed by a friend who does this type of work for a living. This is a passive equalizer and should have no impact on the amount of power you are pushing. Therefore, it can be used in any application were you are using an amp, your head unit, or both to power your speakers. If you want to be sure that this will work, I suggest asking someone who does installations.

Ummm, this VM audio is a capacitor for your bass amp only, its like an extra battery so you car doesnt die or dim while driving or while the car is on. And yes if your 1200 watts rms is for the bass yes you can.

Yes you can hook these speakes up to previous car wire set. no need for an amp

It's not that simple, if you don't want to cut wires you'll need adapters from Metra and Scosche. If you want good results, you might also want to invest in an aftermarket receiver or an amp as most stock units don't push out as much power.

Kiyo, you could used this but the wire is rated for a lower amparage rating. If you are trying to run a higher powered radio, use a larger amp fuse holder for the wire. Another option you could use is to run a relay into your system so you could used the lower amp fuse and then cause this to run your relay. Look up how to wire a relay and that shoud give you what you are looking for.

the way I built it is with a 150 watt adjustable power supply the current must not exceed spec. the voltage is flexible (about 33v) so long as the current is right. The source of the power depends on the power supply some will work fine with 12 vdc car battery some will require other sources. be sure to heat sink the led I used a copper fined cpu cooler with fan attached and running. Avoid the current limitation and cooling and you will slag the led

this eq is for car audio. it has to have three things just to turn on 12volt power, remote 12 volt turn on wire and a ground. when it's hooked to a car you combine the wires with your car stereo wires. id say it way to much trouble to get this eq to work with a home stereo. you might be able to wire it to a computer powersource to get it to turn on.

I haven't had any issues with mine, it all friends how you wired them all, I used sodering, and hooked them up to a 12v circuit on my car

I did not use them for car speakers but in my past experience, 16gauge wire should work fine for standard speakers but it would not be adequate for subs.
