bass 4 love Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Man, I was thinking......if I was to get some Solar panels and put them on my back window and hook them up to my amp for just a little power not a whole lot though...that would be pretty cool..LOL Have you ever thought about that....using the sun to power a amplifier....using the right Calculations you could probably do it and a lot of Solar panels...that would be a cool project! But I was wondering was there a car around here that has a AMP running off solar power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolwazabi Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 i doubt it... amps take a lot of juice... well maybe like a 50w one... but like a orion 2500.. no way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that would be a crazy set up though.....I saw some 18v Solar panels on ebay, thought that would be something cool to do just to show how the sun can be a big help to car audio.......

Coolwazabi Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 try it... i mean it could be possible... but either only good for burps or something or something or weak power... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dleccord Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 aren't solar panels expensive? i've read somewhere that they could go upwards of $10,000 for putting panels onto the roof. Quote refs: chode69, superduper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaxfire69 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 I could see using solor panels to keep your car audio batteries charged. But to power an amp, I doubt it. It would take alot of panels to put out the kind of amperage to sustain a subwoofer amp...But for batteries maybe it would keep them charged up. If you got the money try it..????

Slinky Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Yeah, solar panels are expensive and do not put out that much current. i would like to have one though to charge my batteries when the car is sitting in my driveway and what not.

Guest Nismofreak Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 (edited) Plus it wood look ghetto and the solar powers won't power the battery for a short time. I not saying it stupid but I would spend my money on a better battery or alt. Edited April 10, 2007 by Nismofreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
