guide to Power a Car Amplifier Using a Computer Power Supply

If you recently switched vehicles and have no room for that big subwoofer in your new car, don't give it or throw it away. Keep it. Use it inside or outside your house by having it powered by a computer power supply.     1     Find the power pin. In the power supply packaging (if bought new) there should be a pinout diagram. Look for the pin that says something along the lines of “Power on”, "PS OK" or other key words that indicates a on signal. It will be on the biggest pigtail.         99% of the time it will be a green wire on new power supplies, but for older power supply “10+ years” the wire could be yellow or purple.

Guide to Get LoJack for a New Car

"LoJack" is the trade name for a wireless radio transponder the size of a deck of cards that can be installed in a motor vehicle, either at the time of purchase or at a later time, to discourage the vehicle from being stolen. When a LoJack-equipped car is reported stolen, the police activate LoJack's inaudible tracking signal, which can penetrate tunnel and garage walls, ship containers, and dense foliage. If you're planning to buy a new car, you may want to consider buying a LoJack system.     1     Know whether LoJack coverage is available in your area. LoJack's radio signal requires special computer equipment to be tracked; not all police departments have the appropriate equipment. A list of counties within states where LoJack coverage is available is given at http://www.lojack.com/Buy-LoJack-Products/Check-Coverage, and is also available by calling 1-800-456-5225 (1-800-4-LoJack).         The telephone list is usually more current than the website list.
