Hey guys, my brothers car is in Autosalon this weekend and he wants to run his sound system but we are not to sure about a suffisient power source. Does anyone know how to power the car using the mains?

We have been told to use a battery charger strait onto the termanals, but the system is runnung like 3000wrms..

Any help would be appreciated.

You have to make an Anderson plug connection on your car, which connects to your battery. My friend just did it for his car (JL Audio Mirage) for this weeks autosalon. Once you make the plug, at the Autosalon, they supply you with a power supply that is connected to the mains and plugs directly into your car.

This is what it looks like:

Yeh, it connects straight up to your battery........ one wire from your negative terminal and one from your positive. Those are the two pins on the plug. You have to use atleast a 4awg cable. That then plugs into the power supplies that they supply to you at autosalon.

Mate Autosalon do not supply these, Its up to you to have your own.

Autosalon supply a powerpoint thats all. My car had a converter built into the system so all the car needed was a powerpoint. Think they are around $300 for a smaller one (enough to run my downlights and stereo at a medium level) and prices are much more for a full competition set up as used on my mates S2000.

My mates car was in with JB Hifi for the last 2 years and a 110amp power supply was supplied.

J B Hifi bring their own power supplies to the show, Autosalon only supply 240 av socket. Jaycar do a power supply that does around 40amps for $399, or if you want something with more power i can get you a proper 100amp switchmode power supply for $600. Pm me if you need one

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
