carshateme Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 just so you know, your wall outlet is rated for 10amps. if you really think you will be drawing 80amps at 14v then you will be drawing just over 10amps at 110v. so you would risk a fire by overloading one plug. Been doing it for a year now...nothing has gone wrong yet. =P It's never plugged unless I'm supervising it...but I guess it's not wise for me to be posting fire hazard stuff, I suppose.

skittlesRgood Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 i just looked up that kinetik piece you linked and thats not a charger, its a power supply. you seem to have put "power supply" and "charger" into the same category in the OP. and it outputs 13.6v not the 14+ you care about for some reason. dont use a battery with that, or any, power supply. but yes, i would advise you get a power supply.

kickass audio Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I did read that it was a power supply but it also said on the kinetik site that it was a battery charger too so i didnt know what would be the best way to wire that to my amp i want to run. And to carshateme, you still dont see what i mean by using a tiny toy battery charger to run the amp. Those toy chargers only made to trickle charge the battery they are intended for and will not put out more than a half to at the very most 1 amp of power to charge the battery. How will a 1 amp charger work for a 1400w rms amp? It wont, you will 100% blow that tiny ass transformer and overload the wire.

flwatersaver Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 You would be better off with a 120v amp. Keep the 12 volt stuff for your car.

skittlesRgood Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 use that power supply without a battery. it will be fine. any good power supply will be made to be able to do its max rated power all day long. i deal with server power supplies at work so its something i know a little about. they take in 110-220v and output 14v dc so its the same thing you are trying to do. and like i said, its what i use myself.
