Re: how to use pc power supply for 12v


Interesting concept. It seems a little too MacGuyver to me, but it's working...right. You are dropping in voltage because the amp is trying to draw too much power from the supply. You might try using one of those big capacitors that car audio guys use. It won't help your steady state voltage levels, but it should keep it from dropping during momentary high demands.
