Your PC sound goes through PC speakers that has built-in amplifier.
This is using car amplifier + speaker to replace your PC speakers. The other one is using car head unit built-in amplifier + speakers to replace the PC speakers. I don't see anything special here from my understanding |

It would be cheaper and easier to just buy a FM radio instead.

QUOTE(zamdry @ Oct 10 2016, 04:40 PM) Should be easy then as the PC power supply can handle 12V required by the head unit. Ensure u the red and black wire goes to the 12V rail and yellow wire goes to a backup battery to retain the memory function. |

QUOTE(zamdry @ Oct 10 2016, 04:26 PM) Why would one connect car stereo to PC. The article is about using car amp or car stereo as amp to amplify PC sound.Car stereo has built-in amplifier already. Why need to connect to PC? I'm getting confused If you want to play radio or song, you need to use the RCA output from the car stereo and you need an adapter to connect to the PC input because it has different type of connector. Remember that the RCA output from car stereo is Line Level signal. So, connect to the Line Level input of the PC |

QUOTE(zamdry @ Oct 10 2016, 05:31 PM) So, the picture is the back of your car stereo, I presumed. Looks like it has RCA connector (colored White and Red). This is the Line Out signal level. As you probably know:White -- Left audio signal Red -- Right audio signal You just need to connect this signal to PC input (Line level input). You do not connect the wire that normally connect to the speaker because it is an amplified audio signal. It will fry your PC audio input. So, just get the adapter wire (very common) to connect from the car stereo RCA Line Out signal to the PC Line In signal which is normally Blue in color. Refer to the link below: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/how_to_..._equipment.html The power for the car stereo is, as you know, require 12V. This is available in PC because PC has 5V, 12V power rail. The main power to hardisk or CD ROM is 12V. tap it from there. You probably need PC Y power cable to split the 12V line from PC. Refer your car stereo manual for power connection. Good luck. |

QUOTE(Zot @ Oct 11 2016, 10:11 AM) I believe so. Power to the car stereo is just 12V and GND. You can easily tap the 12V and GND from PC. I see. Hope it have a specific cable in market to connect from car stereo cable to power supply. Otherwise need to modified that cable. btw thank you explain to me the detail. |

The car stereo comes with its connector and on the other end just tinned exposed wire. You can easily buy the mating connector to plug to the PC power connector. It is more common than the car connector side.btw thank you explain to me the detail. You probably need crimping tool to make proper connector or just solder it (a bit soldering skill needed). |
