Re: how to use pc power supply for 12v


Your best option is to buy a Car battery charger as thy have a setting that will give you plenty of Amperage at 12vDC (should have at least 20amps of output not a trickle charger) You can find them for less than $70 on sale and it is properly regulated as well. Your likely to overheat your PC Power supply at some point and could cause damage to your amp.
