12 Volt amplifier

Post by Cafnod »

Hi does anyone know where I can buy a 12 volt amplifier, I want something like a hi fi seperates amp that runs on 12 volt with inputs and volume tone controls, not a power amp for running 200 w++ woofers.
A secondhand unit is perfectly acceptable if working.

Most amps are 12v but fitted with transformers to run on mains - food for thought anyway.

Thanks Ralph, I was aware of that I am specifically looking for something small, not house sized and I dont want to use a car head unit.

Why not just use an equalizer like this one. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BOSS-AUDIO-CAR-AM ... 5883f15b40

I've got one in the back of my van which I use for my ipod or laptop but you can plug anything with RCA or jack plugs into them. Picked mine up for a fiver at an autojumble.

Keep looking on Ebay. There was a second hand one for a fiver on there a couple of weeks ago.
