Is there anyway a Car amp can get power inside the house. Like a
adapter to plug in the wall so i can run subs inside the house for the computer?

 

use a car battery

 

yea i seen some people do that..But can u get like a adapter to plug in the wall socket or somthing?

 

You need to take into consideration how many amps the unit draws when you choose your power supply... I don't know much about computer power supplies but I doubt they put out the 20 or 30 amps the amplifier needs at peak current draw...

You'd be better off getting a regulated power supply rated at 20 or 30 amps....

the power supply i run on my computer right now is a 550w "sparkle" power supply. it's rated at 36a on the 12v. You can find other brands that are similarly priced that have that kind of output (mine was $100).
from there on (600w or higher) the price sort of goes up exponentially.

of course u cant just go around picking up any ol' $20 generic "550w" power supply if u plan on running that amperage.

or something similar to that, thats prolly ur cheapest option, unless you want a digital display, that will run about $250 if you want digital display.

 

thank u

 

HOP ON EBAY AND LOOK UP PYRAMID POWER SUPPLIES.I AM USING THE MODEL PS-52KX.I PAID ABOUT 165 SHIPPED.IT ADJUSTABLE VOLTAGE FROM 12V-15V AND IS RATED TO PUSH 42 AMPS CONTINUOS /52 AMPS PEAK.I HAVE IT FOR SIX MONTHES AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM

 

Astron makes some seriously heavy-duty 12v supplies too.

Being realistic, for the price of a large power supply, you could get a really nice set of computer speakers.

Exactly!

The only way it makes sense if your not trying to spend any money is to use a car battery and charger, if you already have one.
