Power Supply

j.wright · 30th July 2009, 12:37 PM

Can a PC power supply be used to power a DIY car amplifier ?

If so, how can I do this ?

THANKS !

where will the car get it's 110 to 240 Vac supply to feed into the PC SMPS?

I'm sorry... I'm not following your question...

Are you wanting to use the PC supply to power to the amp while in the car, or as a test bench supply?

To supply power to the amplifier while IN the car...

Nope, they require an AC input voltage.

Better to cut one out of an old amp.
