Car Radio gets hot on AC adaptor

Jul 31, 2024 0 Replies

Got a 60W car radio, hooked it up to a 24W 120VAC adaptor



Radio gets hot in back lower middle



Also ganged red (power) & yellow (ACC) to red of adaptor black to black



(12VDC 1020VAC adaptor had cig lighter socket on it)



I wanted a continuous power MP3 player, so..



Kinda wimpy speakers, but don't mind



Radio works fine



I twisted and taped the joints, maybe I should solder them
