i'll take a look but im still looking around i havent decided yet. i might still get the power supply since I have plenty of other uses for it right now

That power supply’s specs specify that it will not handle anything over an 80 amp current draw. Meaning it may or may not run a college dorm refrigerator, let alone a class d “high current” amplifier that calls for a minimum of a 100 amp fuse. You will burn that power supply up in no time. If we were talking about Astron power supply systems like I have for White Lightning, it would be a different conversation. I promise you, they cost WAY more than 50 bucks ...

Costs less to do it right the first time, just saying.

The OP has had six different people unanimously agree he shouldn't use a PSU and car amp for home audio.  How much you want to bet he does it anyway?

I wont run it to full power though. I have a DC clamp meter I can use to watch the current and i'm only going to be giving the subs 200 to 250W RMS each sub at most. so playing music it shouldn't draw anywhere near 80 amps at 12v and i'll have room to upgrade to better subs in the future keeping the same amp

and im going to install a fuse to protect the power supply as well so it wont burn up

It sounds just like your wanting someone to agree with you.

My reason for this earlier post ...
