Home Audio Speakers In A Car?
I'm looking to add a little more sound to my old 91 Plymouth sundance, cheaply of course as i am a student. I saw someone online just get a cigarette lighter converter and plug a home stereo system into it. I would be fine with doing this, but i was wondering if it would put too much of a strain on the cars battery? I would unplug the converter from the cigarette lighter each time i left the car.
I say if you get cheap stuffs, expect cheap results...
This might help you out of what to do...
Check these sites out...it is a good reference.

If your headlight dims with the bass notes, the “BIG 3” might work. If not an H.O. alternator will be needed, or else be prepared to pour a lot of $$$ for batteries.

You would be better off just going to Wall Mart buying some inexpensive speakers and a new head unit and installing it yourself may even be cheaper in the long run…
