would this unit be able to power a car cd player with an amplifier? (a little something for the garage music)

Yes it has 10 amps of juice crank away..It also has a connection for 2 wires as well as 12 volt plug Bad dude

Sometimes its better to buy a deep cycle Marine battery if you want a ton of Amps and juice..Keep it charged

In my opinion the Pyramid PS15KX 10 will power a modest sound power amplifier for your garage music requirement.If the power demand is for the sound system that vibrates your car and the roof of cars beside you at a traffic light I would not recommend this power supply.

Figure it can handle about a 140 watt load. But amplifiers are not at all efficient, so don't go by the "power" rating of your radio and/or speakers. After looking up a few references, it seems a car cd player requires between 6 and 8 amps at 12-volts; some as much as 15 amps if you start adding bass/woofers. But a "reasonable" power to plan for, I think, would be 6 to 8 amps.So, yes, this power supply should be enough to handle an average car radio/CD-player and a set of 4 speakers.Not to throw you off, but if you have already have another 12-volt battery, you could use it and a trickle charger to recover the battery's charge during/after use. A trickle charge is a bit cheaper. Just a thought. Figure it can handle about a 140 watt load.

If that guy had a problem must been bad unit been using this one for 8 years and have 4 of them I would have to say he did Not have the one listed above there are 4 models 10 amp above only that is a ton of power

I would not buy this unit again, mine would not work right and the company would not stand behind it. Check amps you need and buy accordingly

Depends on the amp, though anything by Bose I would imagine would have plenty of power.

Yes. It will convert the sound signal from the car stereo to a signal appropriate for any power amplifier
768470
Yes, that would work just fine as long as you have a digital out on your player. You'll get remarkably improved definition if your CD player has a typical built in DAC.
2215285
Yes! This amp will work but you need preamplifier.But I think you need more bigger power amplifier If you want best sound quality because this amp is good for car audio.
658736
It will with ok sound quality if it's for inside the car listening pleasures. However getting another one and bridging it or a higher powered amp for a good baseline would be recommended.
333230
Yes, but it's impractical.You'll need to get a power inverter, plug it into the cigarette lighter, and your car needs to be running.You're better off just using NiMH batteries and having two sets of them. This amp will run a LONG time on a set of batteries though. Some people have reported getting as much as 20 hours.-TJ

Yes. It will work great running from the vehicle lighter receptacle and works with CDs also MP3 formats. We've had ours for several years and its still running great.
1961330
it would have to have a preamp unit to plug into - otherwise you would use a clamp on or stick on amp hookup

I'm not sure. Mine is running a car stereo. It can run for sereval hours. I just don't know how many amps I'm pulling from the battery.

Obviously the answer is yes. One thing I will add is that the line output is 2 volts so it can pick up more noise than a 4V out. In my case, switching from an older CD player with 4V out to this 2V out was a huge difference in sound quality even after I had set my amp up accordingly. That's about the only detracting thing I've found about this unit.
1272673
Yes, just get a pre-amp with a digital connector, pretty simply for any aux connections.
266318
No, You need an amp for it to work and t is also 12 volt. Generally used for car audio.

Sai, It should work with that head unit but you would certainly notice the difference with an amp. Eric C

Yes, this is just a CD deck with pre-amp. You must plug it into an amplifier.

It will work without a head unit if your car amp should have a RCA input jack.

If you are talking about a home CD player with RCA type outputs, you could but would need and RCA to 3.5mm adapter.
