Hey all, I have a mono car stereo subwoofer amp laying around. Just a freakish thought: could I somehow rig it to hook up to a cab and play my bass through it? It doesn't seem that inplausible...
You'de have to lug around a car battery wouldn't ya? Or you'de need an adapter that turns mains power into 12v and the correct amount of amperes (probably about 40amps if it's biggish). I don't think there is such a thing unless you buy one of those lab power supplies and they're expensive.
You would also need a preamp to boost your bass' signal. And car amps are often rated at 2 ohms, so you would need a bunch of speaker cabs to get any power out of it.
They are both right...I think in the end you would end up spending as much as the cost of a decent head unit, haha. But it would definately be interesting...
Before I could afford an amp I rigged up a car stereo e.q., amp and 15" with a 12volt battery charger to play through. Scary to look back at things I did to play!!
i believe someone here rigged up a car stereo rig to see how cheap he could get a component system built. i'm too lazy to do a search, but i'm sure it would find stuff
