How to Make an Outdoor Stereo Using a Car Radio Video Clips. Duration : 6.18 Mins.

The power supply from a discarded computer works fine, the yellow wire is 12v (you usually have to connect the green wire to any black wire to bypass the switch on the computer case).

Clarion head unit (200 watts total) with remote control Marine stereo cover smoke color (bought on Amazon for (but "clear" color was even cheaper. Rubber car antenna - universal at auto parts store.
