Joker Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I have a Fi Q 12" D1 in a 2.5cuft net enclosure ported at 32-33Hz via 2 3" flared Precision Aeroports sitting around. Also have a leftover Kicker ZX1000.1 to power it. Would like to hook this stuff up off my computer if possible , currently using a little 2.1 Boston Acoustics I got for free. Instead of spending money for a pc system I would rather make this stuff work if possible. What else do I need?

Soulman07 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Computer power supplies don't put out too much amperage on the 12v rails... An all of your voltage ratings would be @ around 11.5-12v. If you exceed your maximum amperage output... Most power supplies will blow up or either go into protect and shut the unit off. I just use one for testing.. I don't go to the extreme of using it on a daily basis an actually playing music off of it for extended amounts of time.

CaptainzPlanetz Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I would look into the SoundDigital FT120 power supply, you can run a 1200rms amp directly off of it.

Guest Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 holy balls Boon, how does that work? 20amps at 120vac to 12vdc at 100amps and various other voltages and amperages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulman07 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Are you tripping? PCP&C has one with over 100A @ 12v...http://www.pcpower.com/power-supply/turbo-cool-1200.html You must have missed my point somewhere in there... Is it safe? No! 100amps isn't much for a power supply that's 83% efficient @ 12.5 volts at most. Will your cars amplifiers pull more amps at lower voltages.. yes! what size wires are you working with <16 gauge! will the power supply be able to keep up with demand for music... NO! Is it likely to go up in smoke... YES!. It's not a very ethical long term investment in my opinion... You might as well be plugging your amplifier directly to a wall socket to see if it works that way.

Soulman07 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 You'd be better off getting a small AGM battery and a small charger for it that'll keep the battery floating comfortably @ around 13.8 - 14.4. It'll even cost less and actually be efficient.
