testing a stereo with out fitting

[supra steveo]

am i right in saying that if i connect a stereo`s permanent live wire to the batteries pos terminal and the earth wire to the cars frame then it will work? and to check the audio then connect it to a speaker

[hiten55]

yeah it will work mate. although you could just pop the negative onto the negative of the battery ;)

[supra steveo]

ohh well, i guess i could stick the earth on the negitive, just might need to check a stereo

Do yourself a favour and stick a fuse inline on the power side as well just to be safe.

[supra steveo]

sweet idea mate what rate fuse do you rekon?

[dangerous brain]

10 amp max I think. You may actually be ok thinking about it. Most newer stereos have one plugged into the back of them now.

[supra steveo]

it should have then again it doesnt take long to take the dash out does it might just do that

[dangerous brain]

Stereo should be bolted into the cage. I can't remember now how hard it is to whip the whole double din cage out. Maybe a search will show up a how to guide?
