[QUOTE="tat2bass, post: 7709273, member: 635306"] First off, don't hook your amp back up to your computer power supply. That is a bad idea and can mess the amp up. Especially using the really thin wires. That is a quick way to mess things up. I think you will be fine if you just do the big 3 upgrade which would cost you maybe 30 bucks. Doing that ensures that you get the most out of your stock electrical system. With casual listening on that system I think you will be ok. Just don't sit at idle and turn it full tilt for an hour and you'll be good. That is dependent of course on what kind of car you have and how much the stock alt puts out, but generally with the load that your system will pull you will be fine. You can buy a DMM for 10-15 bucks and set the output of your amp also to a level that can easily be supported by your stock system. Kind of forgot to ask this but what voice coil config are your subs? That will determine your wiring options for your amp and how much power it pulls [/QUOTE]
