[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8869433, member: 689267"] Okay, no worries. I have used a number of setups for home use (see attachment), with car amplifiers, subs mostley (and a 5 way setup in my garage!). The biggest mistake that people make is buying a cheap power supply. The one in this picture is around $136.00 - buy a cheap PS and you end up with a costly POS. this one is decent enough [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ebay.com/itm/395035277311?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5335951755&toolid=20001&mkevt=1[/URL] Keep in mind the only thing that made this practical was the purchase of the 2K amp at $50, a display unit from a local friends shop.
