Re: Wiring a radio on Ez-go golfcart
Two separate issues.
1. Getting radio to work. 2. Getting more volume. ( If needed or desired) Tapping into the battery pack for 12V imbalances the pack and may shorten the life expectancy of the batteries, but a low wattage radio (or audio system) probable won't do much harm. A high wattage audio amp should be powered by a 36V to 12V reducer or run from a separate 12V battery. |

Re: Wiring a radio on Ez-go golfcart
Def agree with johnnieb on tapping into two batteries not being the best way. If your hooking up a cd player alot of times when you first hit the pedal down the voltage drop will cause radio to shut off for a moment and come back on...a reducer would resolve this...also a amp is not necessary for smaller speakers as they are mostly used for subs in enclosed spaces and your (I'm Guessing) going for a treblized system so its loud enough to hear clearly while riding around. Hope this helps...

Re: Wiring a radio on Ez-go golfcart
So both of you are mostley saying that i would need to run the radio power supply from a seperate battery to cover all watts that the radio and speakers are going to draw in?

Re: Wiring a radio on Ez-go golfcart
I have my stereo and lights running off a seperate deep cycle battery that Still fits under the seat next to the others. I charge this battery when needed about once a week. The other nice thing about having a seperate battery is if you run it down to nothing you can still get home on your normal pack.
