Well this is sort of off topic but its still to do with a stereo has any 1 else done something similar to what i have done??

i have installed my car stereo in my bedroom :D it pumps but it wont be in there for long till it goes into my car.

I do actually take good care of my CD's even tho it may not seem like it in the photos

how are you running it from the power socket in the wall? and do you need a ground at all?
i currently don't have a license so i think it'd be awesome if i could start building up my car stereo while i wait to get it back.
any details/info/help would be great!

Well it depends to be honest lol the amp cost me $88, Head unit Free from a mate, Speakers came out of my old car and the sub was $130 box was $60 plus the power converter was free from a mate

You will need for the head unit to run obviously you'll need a

Head unit + Wiring loom
Power Converter 12V to 240V
something to mount the stereo in
some speaker plugs

When i first built it i had the sub and head unit in the same box head unit was above the sub but CD's skipped to much so i suggest not to do that.

If you wait till the weekend i might have a diagram up of the wiring etc :)
