Home stereo system, with a car head unit? Options

[aslearvert]

I have a sony head unit laying around (and some speakers) from my last car and I was just wondering if anyone has ever made a car cd player into something that you can plug into the wall and use for a home stereo. I'm pretty sure its possible. Any specifics I could get like a how-to, or a link would be great. I wanted to post this in the wiring forum of 6gc, but I thought it was too off topic.

thanks!

Same as the head unit, you'd put the amps power&acc w/ the headunits power&acc all to the positive, and all the gounds to the neg.

Now you'll need a biger one than the example i showed earlier; something capable of pushing the headunit and the subs.

Personaly, i have this setup (w/o head unit) but 2 - 12's in a banpass behind my couch with a 10 in the center of my entertainment. that makes 5(2's).3 surround sound system

w/ my bigscreen it makes watching a move, into experiencing a movie
