Default Power requirements

Hi,
I just bought my xtrons TD717G and havent's had the time to install it yet.
I would like to connect it to a power source to see if it works.
I read somewhere that some other car gps owners powered their unit with just a PC PSU. The problem is that the power requirement of my model is 14.4VDC and my PSU supplies 12VDC.
Will I have any problems powering up the unit this way? Do you recommend it?
Thanks

I have never seen any head unit, or gps unit that required 14.4v. Most alternators put out 14.4volts but by time you get it at the radio its 12V. 12V will be fine.

The 14.4V is most likely a max voltage, like most car audio/security/video. 94
