Electric Powered Sound System with a Car Stereo
Background: Adam, a Other from Culver City, CA 90230
[ad#block]Question: Hello,
I’ve made a bicycle sound system that is power by a 12V DC 35AH battery. It’s basically, a car stereo powered directly by the battery.
I’m interested in adding a wireless microphone setup to system, but am not sure of the power situation. I have a wireless unit with specs of “Power Supply: External DC Power Supply, 0.7A, 12-15V DC”
My question is, would I be able to hook up the wireless setup directly to the battery? That is, could I splice the wires on the wireless’ adapter and attach to the battery.
Would it be okay to have both the car stereo and wireless mic units attached to the battery in parallel?
Dave’s Reply:
Thanks for your electrical question Adam. The power supply and or battery must match the stated power requirements for all the intended devices you would like to power.

The Safest Way to Test Electrical Devices and Identify Electric Wires!
The Non-Contact Electrical Tester
This is a testing tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and is the first test tool I grab to help identify electrical wiring. It is a Non-contact tester that I use to easily Detect Voltage in Cables, Cords, Circuit Breakers, Lighting Fixtures, Switches, Outlets and Wires. Simply insert the end of the tester into an outlet, lamp socket, or hold the end of the tester against the wire you wish to test. Very handy and easy to use.
The Quickest Way to Check for Faulty Electrical Wiring!
The Plug-In Outlet Tester
This is the first tool I grab to troubleshoot a problem with outlet circuit wiring. This popular tester is also used by most inspectors to test for power and check the polarity of circuit wiring.
It detects probable improper wiring conditions in standard 110-125 VAC outlets
Provides 6 probable wiring conditions that are quick and easy to read for ultimate efficiency
Lights indicate if wiring is correct and indicator light chart is included
Tests standard 3-wire outlets

Strip Off Wire Insulation without Nicking and Damaging the Electric Wire!
The Wire Stripper and Wire Cutter
My absolute favorite wire stripping tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and this is the tool I use to safely strip electrical wires.
This handy tool has multiple uses:
The wire gauges are shown on the side of the tool so you know which slot to use for stripping insulation.
The end of the tool can be used to grip and bend wire which is handy for attaching wire onto the screw terminals of switches and outlets..
The wire stripper will work on both solid and stranded wire. This tool is Very Handy and Easy to Use.
