- Awesome shop stereo using car audio with sub and an ATX power supply. Feel free to ask any questions. The end result sounds fantastic. Some have said that atx power was noisy, but this runs very clean. Might be due to using a higher end supply. Cost about $80.
Use 5v for phone charger
Small correction: The gren wire is not PWR_OK, It's PS_ON. PWR_OK is the grey wire that signals to the computer whether the PSU is running stabily.
Roger that
THANKS. simple explanation nice work
Thank you for your video.
By running the power and memory wire to the one power wire will it retaine memory for example radio stations ?
thanks for explaining more clearly than other videos, they would just show connections made. I have two Xbox 360 power supply and a old 400w psu along with a old head unit from my truck. instead of letting these equipment sit around to be thrown away later I'm putting them to use.
Why would you say you would turn it on for us and then not do it fucking a week I am stupider for having watched this. And that's an e8 sundown I used to have on what a let down
Great power supply !!!
I just want to make a 120w portable boom box will that power supply do? I don't mind the extra power
@beastmode2990 yeah, but for that low of wattage, you're probably better off getting a kit off Amazon. Like this...

This video was just me tinkering around with extra stuff I had laying around.
Have fun with your project!
@@BettyHatesEverything thanks for answering found out a way to make it portable with 12v12ah batteries and it will last many hours also car radio with 4x40w exits and got 4 speakers of 40w rms 160w peak to connect to it tomorrow I will get the mdf piece's to make the boombox
Will the atx-es700 work it says it’s 700watts 12v+ 53a
I have this amplifier it’s underpowered for subwoofer
Yeah, it kinda sucks. So many new ones that are smaller, more efficient and way more powerful. This is just what I had at the time
If my psu outputs 300watts and my car radio is 200 watts max (10 amps max) shouldn't i just connect 4 yellow and black wires to get the loudness without the radio cutting off?
If you complete understand the power and ratings your fine most people don't and that's the problem there a lot of different things that can happen as long as you stay about 75.percent and under the max rating your fine 50 amp 400w rms and less amp example 👍👌✌️💯🎶⚒️
my amp is is rated for 550 watt rms at 2ohm but i will be running it with 2 z5500 subs both rated @188wats at8 ohm my amp can do 370watts at 4ohm so that will be sufficient as it will detect it as 4 ohm, i have a silverstone 500 watt bronze rated at 38a dc, but my amp is rated at 2x30a wil this work or is this a no bueno oh btw my amplifier is a jbl club 5501 and my psu is a silverstone ST50F-ESB up to 88% efficiency
I tried this with a xbox 360 PSU, the smallest one 150w 12a. With my two smaller amps it works fine, but when I want to try my bigger amp JL Audio JD1000.1, it instantly gives a red light on the PSU. Is it going in protection mode or something, because of too much power?
yes try turning the gain down, mine does it sometimes on a xbox one psu
Welp, my psu just goes off.
my PSU has about double the black cords than there are yellow. Do I still use all of the black and yellow cords for the +/-?
Yes u can
@@palli9660 Thanks for the reply!
Always good to have a thick solid ground, especially if you have a large amp
i should be able to put a keyed switch between the green and black wire on the psu to "lock out" the system, correct?
You can add any switch you want, key or not. Right now I'm working on figuring out a battery power for the constant
Im using an AC/DC transformer (wall wart) to power memory when ATX off. Used a DPDT on/on switch which simultaneously switches power source and turns on/off ATX.
If love to see what you used for constant power.
Too bad YT doesn't send notification on responses- 6 months later but...
constant power for memory is a simple plug in AC 110/12v transformer, rated at 1/2 amp (can be any amp but standby memory used is pretty low).
It is connected to a selector switch that either connects radio yellow wire to ATX or to transformer.
Its a DPDT on/on switch, it also simultaneously turns on/off atx., which is the key to make work.
ATX main switch is left on, the green & black are used to turn on/off ATX, when ATX turned off radios yellow wire is connected to the transformer keeping memory alive.
On yours would be easy to retro fit, minor wiring separating the radios red & yellow running the radios yellow thru switch so it receives power from atx or transformer, red left to atx output. The ATX green and black and run to other side of switch. I made a couple of messy videos but don't like redirecting folks- this pic should explain.

Main point is memory- battery works if your moving radio. Mine is hard-mounted in shop
and this simple explanation got wordy....
@@BettyHatesEverything How do I prevent my settings being lost when I turn of PSU? I don't want it running 365 :)
There must be a way.
i have some yellow/black line wires are those still power or are they diff??
i have a 150 amp power supply and im planning to connect an amp with it but i also want to connect a head unit. can it blow the fuse the head unit has?
I doubt it
What Color is the signal wire I just saw green what’s the other one?
Can you tell company of stereo and power supply with price
I have question. I have done this before, yet I got a higher class D amplifier and obviously a higher end PS. when I test it brand new it works with a few cables, but when I cut the wires, fan goes on for a second then goes off like it came onto protected mode, thus no short circuits present. But if I connect all the cables how it came original it starts working. It's frustrating for I have to leave the cables be and build some kind of useless arm of cables in order to use it this way. only happens with this PS that is 800W. so the question, How come that happens if those cables are not supposed to do anything if cut? thank you
PD: I have a feeling that there are 2 sets of yellow from different sources that go in Short Circuit when i connect them together.
The newer ps's might have different specs. I would check their website for a more detailed schematic. Usually the ps fan is on its own circuit on the AC side. The more demanding D amps obviously draw more amps. Honestly, I would hesitate to use anything more than 500 rms Amp with this method. Probably best to just get an inverter that has the wattage needed if you're trying to power more than that.
wait, if your power supply outputs 50amps, and your Amplifer suports 40amp total. Will the 40 amp amplifer fuses blow? Unless you turn your gains up to the max with bass boost, demanding total current.
phillip - your amp fuse rating is a guide to how many amps it will draw at full load. So your power supply needs to have the ability to output at least that many amps to achieve full output of the amplifier.
Jason A okay,. I'm using a 500rms watt amplifier by MTX audio. That amplifier has a 50amp rating. So I did some math. 12volts x 50amps = 600watts. The power supply that I need is 600watts by thermeltake. That PSU outputs 12volts with 42.6 amps. This should be enough for that 500rms amplifier?
@@phillips3390 sorry for the late reply. Fuse rating is only relevant to the amount of amperage it draws (current). It doesnt necessarily relate to the wattage of the amp. If your amp has (2) 25 amp fuses, you should have a power supply that can handle at least 50 amps of current.
No. The amplifier uses the power that it needs and it won't exceed that range. The psu will support UP to 50 amps but it doesn't mean that it works that way all the time. For example if amp needs 1 amp at 12v the psu will give that amp 1amp at 12v, no more no less 👍😉
Is this typically the same for most of power supplies meaning do most not all but most make yellow power and black ground?
Pretty sure, they could have different colors. Best to refer to the power supply manual.
Is there any electric shoke or hazard risk
Is it possible to open that psu and solder ay thicker wire inside so it can have a clean and sufficient wire going to the amp?
Combining all the 12v wires will give you plenty of continuity.
Shouldn't you have ran an in-line fuse between the power supply and the amp?
That's probably a great idea. I'm going to do an updated version soon. Definitely add that to this next one
@@BettyHatesEverything would love to see an updated version of this
What would happen if I hooked that green wire to one of the yellow power wires? Would that work still?
(I’m talking about on the power supply itself, not the amp)
Do you normally have good results deviating from the wiring diagram/directions?
- lemme save you some "well fck"s...
- stick to instructions. Wandering off course will result in stupid unreplaceable components being fried because you sent voltage where voltage did not need to go.
is there any risk to blow up
Lol not that I'm aware of, but I take no responsibility if something does. Haha pretty sure any time you are working with electricity, there's a risk of something, but if you do it the way I did, it will work just fine
Does it sound like in a car?
Depends how you angle the speakers and stuff
Atx 5ams
So how do you wire the radio so that it doesn’t loose it memory settings on the radio.
Haha, haven't yet. I have heard many people using a small 12v source like a power bank or rechargable lithium. I am doing a version 2 with a smaller amp this next week. I'll keep working on that part
If you put a toggle switch between the accessory turn on wire for the radio (red) and a constant 12v wire (yellow) you can turn off the radio while it's still plugged in then turn it on when you go to use it and keep your presets. The wall outlet power will basically be your battery and the toggle switch is your ignition... At least that's how it worked for me just never unplug it from the wall.... Lol
How do I prevent my settings being lost when I turn of PSU? I don't want it running 365 :)
There must be a way.
I'm building a newer version of this with a much lighter amp and sub. I have heard that you can use a 9v bat to keep the settings. Going to experiment with that soon.
@@BettyHatesEverything Thanks Jason.
My electrician friend gave me the solution. Using a battery is unsafe as it would receive 12v from PSU.
I am going to use PSU for main power and laptop charger for standby. The 2 negative wires of the 2 supplies are connected together. The 2 positives go into a switch that will select which one outputs 12v to head unit. Hope this helps. Atb
Hey Jason. Great video. Just curious on whether a fuse holder would be ideal for this type of set up. If so, how would you run it
Id put it in line with the yellow wire, your 12v + wire.
But i guess first, what are you trying to protect? Then put the fuse upstream from it.
@@dont.ripfuller6587i think he wants to protect himself
