Do you think that amplifier would take 17volts? I'm planning to use 3 psus but for now I have two as the other two shorted out. Some people told me I should series - parallel the -12v + 3.3v or 5v together to make 15.3v/17v the 3.3v gives out 28A and the 5v gives out 30A. So when I wire both psu's together, I'm hoping to get 15.3v - 56A / 17v - 60A. Lol please help.. I don't even fukin know how to series - parallel psu's together.

PSU share a common ground.

I don't thin you could series them.

You did say you had more than one correct?

You may be able to do it that way, just keep a fire Extinguisher Handy.

17V would probably blow the amp unless you could put enough load onto the PSU's to drop them down to 13-15v.

if it took 17v it may actually do half rated power before its trademark "explod". i highly doubt it will take 17 volts for very long

LOl no it gives out what it's rated. This is CEA-2006 Compliant. So if I do the 15.3v mod then it will probably drop down to 13~ so I'd be getting near 900 watts rms.

So when I turn it on, the subs should be playing right away to give it a voltage drop lol?

So if it idles at 17v, it'll just blow right?

bumpppppp

BTW Sorry for sort-of double posting..

Go look at the amperage rating on your PSUs for the -12v. The Enermax in my hand right now is rated at 0.5A for the -12v rails, so even 3 of them in parallel is going to give you like 3A tops. That amplifier will pull maybe 60-70A at full draw. Your PSUs will just think there's a short and either go into 'protect' or let the magic smoke out.

Get a small sealed AGM battery and a 5A battery charger. Just keep the charger on it all the time and watch the voltage, it should pound for a while before the voltage gets too low.

If you do put 17v to a sony, make sure to get a video of it..

Oh, mine is a budget system.. I'll just leave it with 6 12v rails from 3 psus..104Amperes and hope there isn't a lot of voltage drop. Even if I drop to 11.2 volts, I'll still get around 744 watts rms.
