How to hardwire speaker box into old truck? - 1

Added (1). Ok so i have a 86 Ford ranger that is a pos and so the radio doesn't work, but i have this old speaker box with a aux cord that is meant to be plugged into a wall outlet so i was trying to figure out a way to hard wire it into the truck because i only have one cigarette lighter socket and don't want to have to have it permanently occupied by a converter. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

If the radio doesn't work then any speaker will not work. What do you mean by AUX cord, I think you mean a power cord that supposed to plug into the wall electrical outlet. That will not work. Replace the radio then install some car speakers, not home speakers.

If you want to play that speaker with some portable entertainment driving it, fine. You need to power it. It probably needs about 12-14 volts to run. Look in it and find its power supply circuit. It contains a power transformer and rectifier. Measure the output voltage after the rectifier to see what it is and if it's 12-14 volts, you can run it off your car's DC voltage there. If what I just said makes no sense, stop where you are, put the speaker back in the closet and go to the salvage yard and buy a used Ford radio that came out of an '86 Ranger or equivalent and replace the dead stereo- plug and play.

  • Will a 2000 Ford Windstar lx fuse box diagram be the same as a 2003 Ford Windstar fuse box? I found a link about a 2003 but I need to know if it'll be the same for a 2000. If it ain't can anyone help me out with a link showing information like this but about a 2000 model? Thanks. http://www.fixya.com/cars/t11808484-2003_ford_windstar_fuse_box_diagram
  • Why did my Ford E350 box truck start leaking transmission fluid? So I left my truck and didn't drive it for about a week or two and 2 days ago I noticed a huge leak that came from the transmission. I'm really curious as to why it happened since I didn't drive it for these two weeks and it happened just recently. What is going on? Bad seals? Hot weather made it start seeping through? I checked the fluid levels and they look fine to me. Advice?
  • 95 Ford Taurus Speaker Specs? I have spent a lot of time searching and have no results. I know the rear speakers in my Taurus (GL) are 3.2 ohms, but I need too know what the front (door) speakers are rated at ohm-wise.
  • Offered to advertise on my box truck? I found a company that offers to pay me around 500 bucks a month to cover up my box truck with an advertisement. Is this a good offer considering that I have this truck traveling along the i-5 corridor every week going through major cities and clocking around 2000 miles a week. Also is it possible to get a direct contract with pepsi, Nike, Coca cola, etc for them to advertise? Any ideas? I own a 16ft Ford E350 previous budget truck.
