|
|
I'm looking for suggestions or ideas for our '67 Euro beetle. It is a fully restored and rewired stock beetle with the original 6 Volt system. Also, a radio delete car.
We need to add an audio system into it.
I'm considering adding a 12 volt motorcycle battery into the car to power the system. But how to charge it? Is it possible to charge it off the 6 volt generator system??
Or
Just keep it connected to a battery tender when parked in the garage?
THOUGHTS?????
Thanks people!!!

Nice car – deserving of one of Wayne Johnson’s 6V amplifiers. I put mine in back in 2009 and it's never missed a beat (see what I did there…?). No messing about with 12v batteries or converters, it just works. I think he has improved on the design since and they’re now all bluetoothified so you can stream off your mobile device of choice. _________________ Do not follow me, for I may not lead.

Thanks. If you can direct me to this Wayne Johnson you speak of i'd greatly appreciate it, lol.
I did a member search and only found one Wayne Johnson but he has no posts or ad's so I don't think that's him?
if this doesn't pan out I'll have to go the converter route.
Thanks Guys!! |
