I was thinking about getting a 94-96 camaro bose Head unit, speakers, sub, and wiring harness to put in the house. Anyone ever do this? I'd have to by a converter or use a computer power supply. This is just a fun creative project that I wanna do.

 

I've never heard much about that kind of thing, but that is a cool idea!

 

Back in the days of the boxcar full of un-counted car stereos delivered to the factory it was all to common for people who work on the assembly line to build a stereo to listen to at work. A few are still around here. Today you would get fired for this practice. And all stereos are accounted for from the point of leaving Japan or China.

But they do sound good, not as good as a real Bose System but good enough.

Let me go put another CD in locker at work..........Hmmmmmmmm looks like a......
1986 Chey Z24 Car stereo.

first off, a computer power supply wouldn't be powerful enough. youd need at least a 50 amp power inverter.

secondly, why? bose car audio isnt the same as bose home audio. the car stuff is crap, made to draw of their reputation for home audio. honestly, very little engineering has gone into any of their speakers, their breakthrough sound quality is based on cabinet design, in which none of it is used in their car audio (except in the old nissan 300zx system which really sucked). you are better off not wasting your time and money.

if you are doing this just to be different then by all means, but the inverter will cost you a few hundred, plus youll need to build cabinets for everything.
