how/what do you need to do to connect an automotive amp with standard indoor power outlets and stuff
im not sure about using the house outlets as a power source, i think there MIGHT be some sort of power converter. but you dont really want to do that cause car speakers operate with 4 ohms and the house speakers operate with 8 ohms. ive seen some get getto and buy a car battery and hook it all up like you would do in a car. then when its drained you put it on a charger… why dont you jus buy some house speakers/amp?

car amps are 12v dc. your house is ac. youd need a dc/ac converter. your computer powersupply can be used for testing, but its not enough power to run normally. powerful ones are expensive so its not even practical.
Hey guys, you can use a standerd automotive batttery charger to run it indoors. You should get one with at least 30-50 amp continuous charge rate, which runs about 50-70 dollars at your local parts store if your planning on just running one amp and subs. Just cut the hand clamps off, run an inline fuse or fused distrubitor block like you normally would in a car setup. We used to use a industrial charger on a display room at my brothers old stereo shop which put out 200 continous amps which is more then enough but cost about $300. You should also use a high grade surge protector if you got high end equipment. HTH
thanks man thats exactly what i was lookin for, the only reason i want to hook them up indoors is i might have to take them out of my trunk for a while (for the space) so i might as well hook them up inside for fun
even tho that is pretty ghetto…o well
