car amp in home

Ken Irvine · Aug 11, 2014

I have been searching like mad for a way that a novice like me can hook up his car amplifier to my home computer and 2 home speakers. I do not have a receiver anymore but have an external hard drive full of music. Can anyone please tell me how I can listen to my music. I have searching for hours and have found nothing that I can understand or that is relevant to my problem. Please be patient with me as I am nothing close to an electrician. I have seen some things where I believe they are opening up the computer, but I would need instructions that would come before that. I think I'm going crazy. Just want my music back. Thanks in advance.

My friend ran his whole car stereo system out of his bedroom after he wrecked his car as a teenager. He just ran it off a car battery and needed to recharge once in a while. Not sure home speakers will be compatible though since they might be different resistances.

I currently use a circa 1990 Sony reciever for my music output from my HTPC. It still sounds great, though it doesn't like to play cassette tapes or CDs anymore. It's hard to find a descent home stereo anymore.

You have a PC, and external drive, and 2 home speakers.

It would be easier/faster/cheaper to either:
Buy a receiver to power the home speakers
or
Buy a set of computer speakers
or
Buy a $5 earbud set at the local drugstore

Yes, you can use a car stereo to do it, but you'll likely spend more money than the above options.
