[QUOTE="Patthehat033, post: 7523223, member: 637337"] Sorry, I didn't realize the different voltage rails. Okay so the 12V rail only puts out 2.5Amps on the 110W PSU. And the 12V rail on the 145W one only puts out 4.2Amps. Haha so that is probably not enough to power much. I have tried both power supplies, they work with the 100 watt amp but not with the 400 watt one, probably because the 100W is cheap and probably doesn't even have a safety other than a fuse. Do you think if I wire up 3 power supplies in series, using the 5v rails, equaling about 15V at say 40+ amps would work? Since car amps can run at about 15 amps. [/QUOTE]
