It sounds like he is powering an amp using an automotive battery charger as the 12v source. Using it to play stereo speakers in his house? This is a recipe for disaster, if I got it right. Buy a better home stereo and leave the 12v gear in the car.

OP... That car charger is not going to power that amp efficiently. You’re going to burn down your parent’s house dude. Buy a car and put the "car amp” and "car audio gear" in the "car"
