LoginThe simple answer to this question is yes, but what are the benefits of doing this? If you do choose this as an option, how should you go about it? Read on for the answers you need. Your home stereo will normally have arrived with its own built-in amplifier to drive the speakers and power the system. You may decide, however, that you need more power than this offers, which is why you might be thinking about connecting a new amplifier to your stereo.
This is a great opportunity to learn more about how your stereo works and how to get the best sound from it. Installing an amplifier and accompanying speakers also lets you develop a few handy skills you can use for future upgrades and tweaks. While this job is tricky, if you feel confident in your wiring capabilities, go for it! Wire size is measured in diameters, usually referred to as a gauge. Take time to measure the distance between the car battery and the amplifier so you can get the right length of wires. An in-line fuse on the main power cable, within half a foot of the connection to the battery, is a must. This fuse protects you, your car, and your stereo system from a short circuit that could cause a fire.
