kirill007 Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 I have a power acoustic fire and ice 1600w running a crunch fatboy 15"on one channel though,an alpine 3527s running two 12" home stacks and a soundstorm force 500.2 1000w running two 12" power pros with a 1 farad digi cap and a sony hu all running off an xbox 360 supply so it can be done Just because it can be done doesn't mean it's a good idea. Certainly not off a cheap xbox 360 power supply, especially not if you are mixing any equipment you have. Just as if someone would be asking how to make a cocktail. Everyone tells you not to just add things you like individually and you come in and respond: I have made a cocktail with chocolate, grapes, apples, sprinkles oh and I also added some vinegar and tomato's and all that combined with a potato, so it can be done. Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdog Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 a make shift power supply can fuck you up!! go get a pro audio amp like a crown and a electronic crossover or settle for a 500w plate amp. REP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopdante Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 If you want to use car amps, why not just get some car batteries as well? If you want to run off mains, get some PA amplifiers. There are also a bunch of mains to 12V DC transformers available for running low-voltage halogen lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevyboy420 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 A halogen bulb transformer sounds pretty good,but what kind of amperage do they put out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulPumpsBass Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I don't have my subs quite yet, but I want to know how i can install my car radio in my room. I've seen people use computer power supplies but only like single 12's. Would it be safe to do that with 2 15's at about 2000 rms? I've thought to myself that if i just buy a car battery for this purpose how would I keep it charged at a stable voltage? Are there any other methods of safely doing this? This is a relatively temporary setup (about a year) until i can put it into my car, so i don't want to get to crazy with costs. Any help and advice is greatly appreciated. GREAT QUESTION! I've been wondering for years about how to do it (safely), and was just about to post this question. 1994 Mazda RX7 with LS1 Swap and 2 - 10" Kicker L7's in Truck Boxes (because of extremely limited hatch space) 2003 GMC Yukon XL with 3 - 12" MTX 9500's and still has the third row seat (over 7.5 cu ft of enclosures behind third row) 1971 Chevrolet Nova with LS1 Swap (work in progress, most likely 4 - 12" Alpine Type R's as I already have them) 1961 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod with LS7 Swap (system upgrade will be one of the first things that I'll do) Solo Basshead For The Most Part, None Of My Close Friends Have A Passion For It, Nor The Money For It.

PaulPumpsBass Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 If you're not wanting to really blow this out of the water you could just buy a plate amp and plug it into the wall socket, instead of a car amp and doing all the weird power supply things. I've been thinking about doing this too. I looked up the home theater plate mount amplifiers, the largest one I could find was 475w @ 8 ohms / 950w @ 4 ohms. I've been wondering how the computer power supply hook up works and how safe that really is... Because, car subs and amps are much more powerful than home systems for some reason. 1994 Mazda RX7 with LS1 Swap and 2 - 10" Kicker L7's in Truck Boxes (because of extremely limited hatch space) 2003 GMC Yukon XL with 3 - 12" MTX 9500's and still has the third row seat (over 7.5 cu ft of enclosures behind third row) 1971 Chevrolet Nova with LS1 Swap (work in progress, most likely 4 - 12" Alpine Type R's as I already have them) 1961 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod with LS7 Swap (system upgrade will be one of the first things that I'll do) Solo Basshead For The Most Part, None Of My Close Friends Have A Passion For It, Nor The Money For It.
