Link meh Caleb!? I'm having a harder time than I thought finding a cheap converter, but there are many options for finding 12v. Any old computer desktops laying around you don't use have a 12v power supply, usually 10-15 amps. You could also bring in a car battery just keep it charged up lol. Pricey, but Stinger makes 40, 60 and 70 amp 12v power supplies that are good: http://www.ebay.com/itm/STINGER-SPS40-40-AMP-HIGH-PERFORMANCE-CAR-STEREO-POWER-SUPPLY-CHARGER-/330768509336?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d0356e998 Quote 1997 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab, 350 Vortec Things to come at some point...

Loslam Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 The biggest is the 70 amp, however you can parallel them. Say you need 140 amps, buy two 70 amps and wire together Quote 1997 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab, 350 Vortec Things to come at some point...

Question Mark Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Or you could buy an AGM battery with a smart charger instead of the expensive powersupply (if you choose the caraudio way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMS Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 How does bestbuy have that display wall powering the subs? I call it the mystery wall. I have an AQ750 laying around I'd like to hook up to my SA12 and Pioneer 821 receiver.

412 CVX Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 they probably have a car battery hooked up to a trickle charger. or they bypass the amps alltogether. i've never tried messing with the gains on them before... i might try that tomorrow. Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.

beaker Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Another option is to use a 12v amp (if you have a spare or extra) and get a 12v power supply or converter for in the house This would cost a lot more, and generate more heat and complexity. Get a plate amp, or a rack mounted amp. It'll be cheaper and better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tebo Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 they probably have a car battery hooked up to a trickle charger. or they bypass the amps alltogether. i've never tried messing with the gains on them before... i might try that tomorrow. or just a bunch of 12v power supplys made for that exact application. I seriously doubt it best buy would use a battery on a charger. OP you bestbet for clean power would be a plate amp or 2 Quote 04 dodge dakota ext cab 4x4 excessive amperage 300 amp alt with MONSTER stud =)sundown z v3 15 in a 4th order on aq2200sundown 100.4 2 way active...2 Prv audio 6mb200 & 2 re XXX tweetersdeka intimidatorkenwood x396big 3 1/0 knu wire back to deka intimidator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
