Hello, my car was recently broken into and destroyed.
I have my sub-woofer out of the car now and want to know if it is possible setting up a car sub-woofer in a home audio system?
The power from a car battery is only 12v ? The Sub has a built in amplifier and is 20A , if that helps.
Cheers,
James

You can run it on a 12v power supply, like used in testing auto equipment or running ham radios/etc. It is likely it will not take full 20A at max output...depends on how loud you plan on running it how large a power supply you need. The big ones are expensive to by new, like over 20A. Some people recommend the pyramid brand for a good price and they seem to work fine, if you can find them there. Most are actually 13.5-14v for auto power. Or you can try to run an old PC power supply or something like that. The wall warts do not put out that much power.
