How to wire a speaker to a 12v battery?
Hi, I've got a iPhone dock, and i want to wire it to the 12v battery on my motorbike. Does anyone know how to do it or has a website where i can learn how? I want the speaker on my bike for the summer to listen to my music.
You could wire a cigar lighter adapter into your bike easily enough, being careful of the polarity. Then use a car charger for the iphone.
Speakers don, t wire to 12 volts. Get a cigarette 12 volt lighter installed and you will have you 12 volt Access
Look at the device normally used to power the dock like batteries or the mains transformer/adaptor. This will tell you that voltage and amperage needed to supply it correctly. This will not be 12 volts. You will then have to find something that will alter the 12 V to the required output and have that between the dock and the battery.
If the dock can be powered from a car 12v socket then all you need to do is to install one on the bike.
- Where can I buy thin, stiff wire? I'm looking for the thinnest possible wire that is pliable and can hold its shape while standing vertically, possibly while holding a hollow, iPhone-sized, cardboard box.Am I able to find this anywhere? And am I more likely to find something like this at an arts and crafts store or a hardware store?

- Is it safe to sell iphone on Craiglist and let the buyer wire the money from Paypal? One guys found my listing on Craiglist and wanted to wire me the money and then I ship him the phone. Is there any way for him to take the money back from my paypal? We're not doing thru Ebay because ebay charges me a ton for selling it.
- IPhone sounds play from ear speaker, not bottom speaker? Every so often, when I double click the home button, scroll over to the volume level, there's a little symbol for air play. When selected, I can play sounds from either the I phones ear speaker or the bottom (louder) speaker. However, this seems to go in and out and most of the time the air play icon isn't there. How do I fix this?
