A Speaker under the bonnet of a car - how?

Question

I want to set up a speaker under the bonnet of my car. I have no electrical experience but i want to have a go anyway. Has anybody got any ideas how I can set something like this up. I want the speaker to have a lot of power and be able to play mp3s. I thought I could use a standard car amp but my speaker currently has loose ends

Answer 1

Without getting into the merits of your idea, I would point out that the engine compartment of a car is subject to heat and moisture conditions that will quickly destroy most speakers.

And what in the world are you trying to accomplish with this?

Anyway, if you're set on it, mount your amplifier inside the passenger compartment and just run a speaker cable through a grommet or bushing in the firewall, and into the engine compartment. Make sure the wire and speaker are placed to be clear of any moving parts or extra-hot areas; there are plenty of both underneath the bonnet.

New MOT guidelines are about to come back into rigidity relative to wiring, and also, (For provider causes) if the sub is so enormous that the boot area is compromised, it ought to point that the boot floor parts and seatbelt/suspension mounts is honestly no longer inspectable. The bonnet must be opened to envision elements below there. also the seats and mountings are checked for MOT. it really is accessible it ought to fail for insecure wiring.... you've been warned! magnificent to get rid of it for MOT time. those new guidelines start up on the morning of the twentieth March.
