johnsartain Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) I was considering setting up a XM Sirius Radio in my truck. Looking at the radio and the adapter, I noticed the adapter put out 5 Volts. This got me to thinking about being able to hard wire it to the trucks 6 volt electrical system. I am just not so sure how steady that 6 volt would be as I have seen on the site that some gen's and alt's put out a little but more. I have a 6v - 12v inverter but was just curious as to what other may be doing. maybe someone has or knows of a device that could simplify this without the inverter. Maybe even add a usb jack for charging cell phones. Edited July 23, 2018 by johnsartain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Polarity may be a bigger issue than voltage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsartain Posted July 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I can work that out, fairly easy, the radio is easily isolated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
