Hello,
I am building an ammo can boombox, and I want to be able to run it off of main power (laptop plug) when plugged in, and battery power when not plugged in.
Below are the parts I am using:
Lepai LP-2020 Amp
Toggle Switch (panel mounted)
Battery
DC Power Jack
How do I wire up the switch to change from mains to battery? Also, if I used a bigger power supply (12v 5 amp) would it fry the amp? Here is the wiring diagram I came up with.
Last thing, since the ammo can is metal, will there be grounding issues?
