  • Car Radio gets hot on AC adaptor

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jul 31 10:54:57 2024
    Got a 60W car radio, hooked it up to a 24W 120VAC adaptor

    Radio gets hot in back lower middle

    Also ganged red (power) & yellow (ACC) to red of adaptor
    black to black

    (12VDC 1020VAC adaptor had cig lighter socket on it)

    I wanted a continuous power MP3 player, so..

    Kinda wimpy speakers, but don't mind

    Radio works fine

    I twisted and taped the joints, maybe I should solder them
