Hello all,
I bought a very simple car of soviet design (a lada) that doesn’t have a sound system installed on it.
I want to build a basic setup to plug my iPod in via jack 3.5mm to be able to listen to music when driving that car.
I can get cheap 12v AC 100w mono amplifier boards here in the Caucasus and I’m thinking about using two of them to get a dual channel amplifier able to drive two speakers. I might also add a third of these amplifiers through which to attach a dedicated bass speaker. A switch, a fuse, a fan and a jack socket...
Would that be enough?
The amplifiers boards being to be powered ac, what would be the easiest way to plug the circuits onto the car’s battery ?
Would I need an inverter to get ac from the battery as well as a dc-dc converter to get more power from it?
If it’s to get that “complicated”, are there diy-able versions of it (inverter, converter) out of widely available components ?
I think it’d be more elegant (aesthetically too because an elaborate-looking installation could look a bit strange on that car) to set up that little system myself - and I could use some experience with electronics too.
I’m sorry if it all sounds very basic but well, it’s not really my thing until now. Id be happy to make that little projet work out by myself as far as possible (time-wise also) and on the cheap side.
I would appreciate any advice to the completion of that installation !
Thank you.
