DC Power supply
i want to power a 50w x 4 jvc head unit with a dc power supply at home. i have seen a 12 amp regulated 13.8volt power supply. can someone please tell me if this will be enough to power my head unit.

Re: DC Power supply
Or if you are semi decent at electronics an old computer power supply will work. You just take the yellow and black (the black ones right by the yellow ones not by the red ones) wires on all the leads and strip them and hook em up. My brother has a VR3 amp that has a max of 300 watts being ran on it. And it never shuts down due to power shortage or anything.

Re: DC Power supply
I would go with the computer power supply. Costs alot less and just looks cooler.

Re: DC Power supply
thanks for that, i'll use a computer power supply. but will it be safe to operate compared to a dc power supply. and can you give me a few tips on wiring because a computer power supply looks complicated

It'll run on less than 5a and your built in amp will draw more when it's needed.... It should by written on the FCC statement in the product literatue.
