In the garage, many motorists are often lying out of the old radio tape recorders: stay after buying new equipment or the car is sold without music. It is possible to find her use at home or at the cottage. Even inexpensive car radio is able to overtake many home audio devices in terms of quality and purity of sound. I will get acquainted with how to make a music center with your own hands.

The main thing is, without anything do not do in this matter:
Magnetol in working condition;
Columns or speakers;
Power Supply;
Additional wires.

First, we are determined with the power source. Any options calculated for a constant voltage of 12 V are possible, but with a capacity of less than 300 W are not suitable in principle - too weak. It can be:
Computer power supply;
Household block sold in radio engineering departments;
Transformer with a rectifier from the old TV;
Battery charger.

The choice of speakers directly depends on the power device used. From a weak source of the radio can only work on a small volume, and the current for the current is 5-8 and enough to overclock the "full coil". The power of the speakers is also selected on the basis of the parameters of a particular car machine. Speakers are suitable from the music center or car acoustics.

Next is made homemade body or is something suitable for dimensions. Cut holes for radio and speakers. You can simply make the front panel and insert it, for example, to a tumbler under the TV or hang on the wall.

A wired connection of the components between themselves is performed. To do this, the standard connector of the radio tape recorders are cleaned with the conductors, to which the power supply is connected, the output to the antenna and connects the audio reproducing device. The antenna is performed in the form of a suspended wire with a length of 1.5-3 m. Another better option will be a car antenna.
After the assembly is completed, we turn on the nutrition network and check the capabilities of your music center. Do not forget when it is turned off, also de-energize the power supply.
