Hi,
My question might sounds stupid - I'm a real beginner and would appreciate your help:
I'd like to power a small BASEtech AP-2100 to a home 220V source.
Is it possible? If so, what transformer could I use?
Spec for BASEtech AP-2100 are as follow:
Impedance 4 Ω
Impedance constant to 4 Ω
Frequency range 20 - 20 000 Hz
Total audio power (music) 100 W
Power per channel (music) 50 W
Power per channel (RMS) 10 W
Operating voltage 12 V
Product type 2-channel headstage
My speakers are two low quality VISATON FRS 8
30 W
Maximum power
50 W
Nominal impedance Z
8 Ohm
Frequency response
100–20000 Hz
Many thanks!
Alex

No stupid questions. Only ignorant. Ignorance can be reduced.
This is a low-price car-sound amplifier. The "rating" numbers are grossly exaggerated. It clearly works on a 12V 10A feed in a car, and probably can't suck all 10 Amps.
House-powered car-power "220VAC to 12VDC" converters are a very standard product. And really too cheap to DIY.

These days, most accept 110V-220V. Most in the size you need have a "cigarette lighter" 12V output. Be SURE you get polarity right.
Thanks for your reply,
Ignorant is the word!
The users notice mentions a fuse of 5A, but nothing more, (see pictures attached)
Someone mentioned that it would cost about a 100$ for the right converter... but it would be stupid to spend this for a 30$ car amp...
Are you sure it would work on a 8,5 or 10A?
If so, can I cut it and wire it directly, or should I mount a male cigarette lighter socket?
Many thanks,
Alex

Try a computer PSU. Mine has 25A.
You have to short Power good (usually green but confirm) & Black in order for it to start.
