car stereo at home

hi everyone, my first post.

My mate recently bought this thing so he can use his car stero at home, he told me he someone bought if for him for  around £15-20. Does anybody know the name of it and where i can buy it from.

THanks

A basic 12 volt power supply (transformer) will do it- as long as it'll provide the amperage you need.

thank for the reply. i went on to ebay to look for a 12v transformer but the only ones that i found were the ones with a charger kind of port. not an iso connector thingy

allright, you have lost me. i looked up what you sed, u gave me the name of a company that makes power like a generator kind of thingy. But what i am looking for is for me to put one end into the wall (plug) and the other end in the car stereo.

thanks a lot

As long as you're not using external amps or anything, but just running speakers off a head unit (car cd player), you just need a basic 12 volt power supply.  You're maybe looking around 50 bucks American, price will vary based on your equipment's current demands.  Something like this would work:  http://www.baproducts.com/pyramid.htm.  You could always put the power supply inside a cabinet or something, and run wires from there to an outlet you install elsewhere.

It's kind of an inefficient way of doing it- it's best just to use home equipment, which is why we usually recommend doing so.
