Hi I have a car stereo and i connected it to my pcu. Then i connected it to ONE speaker. It works but when i connect it to my second speaker it goes brrrrrrr and unbearable noise then i need to un plug my pcu. Im using home speakers Two Sharp CP-S330. It works fine with one but two it does not. Please help i want to use my second speaker without that problem.
it works with one speaker but when i connect the the second speaker to the car stereo it goes brrrrr and i need to unplug pcu. Sony GTX-GT300 is my car stero Sharp CP-S330 are my speakers and my pcu is a Dell 305BBC.
 
Have you checked the resistance of the speakers against what the stereo amp can handle?
 
What is the resistance of the speakers? It will be measured in Ohms (Ω). It should be written on the speaker somewhere.
 
If I understand this right, you're using a computer power supply for 12 volts to run the car stereo unit. It works with one speaker but not both.

Have you switched the speakers? Put the second one in place of the first, still by itself?

Have you switched which channel the one speaker is on? I assume by stereo you have left and right, which was the speaker on when by itself? Does it work by itself on the other channel?

Does the power supply work? Are you actually getting enough power to run the stereo?

Is the stereo known to be good? Is it loose in your hands because maybe it died and was removed from a car?

You're throwing stuff together and assuming it's good. What if you're throwing broken stuff together and finding out it's broken?

The car radio works considering it powers on and works in the car.. the speakers work all tested.. the pcu worked on my desktop so all of them do work. ANd these speakers are (home speakers not car) as i mentioned before there sharp Cp-S330
 
These aren't powered speakers, are they? Like computer speakers? Those aren't going to work. If you're hooking an amplifier output (car stereo's speaker terminals) to a PC speaker plug somehow, then you're putting WAY TOO MUCH juice into the input of those speakers. That plug is intended to take a low-level audio signal and the speakers have built-in amplifiers.

What exactly is connecting to what? I don't mean the radio connects to the speakers. I mean, what terminal or wire on the radio connects to what terminal or wire on the speaker, and what did you have to make to adapt the connections?
