6 Volt

[Ratrod94]

Can i hook an after market stereo up to a 6 volt system? as long as i dont go over board on speakers?

I doubt a modern radio will work on 6V and if it did it will probably wont last because of the low voltage.

To do it you are going to need a special converter to go from 6 volts to 12 volts. They are not cheap, but they allow you to operate modern electrical equipment in an older car.

Here is one company that does that:

Why not just convert the car to 12 volt? It will be less headache in the long run and then you don't need to worry about destroying the 12V stereo.
