Computer power supply to power car amp?

[foomasta69 10+ year member]

I've seen people do this but i am not sure how it is done... I recently purchased two Dayton Reference 12" subs for my home theater system but my bash 300w amp is on back order until next month.. I have a kicker 400.1 laying around and want to power them up to test them out and see how they are going to sound.. I am just wondering what wires i need to connect to the amp and what kind of switch i need to turn the power supply on?

That is correct.

what i did was cut all of the long yellow wires and attatch those to the 12+ ... then all the long blacks to the grn... then just run a bridge from the 12+ to the remote terminal, and on the main 20-24 pin plug on the PSU, connect the green wire to a grnd wire. i think it should be no.4 and no.5 on the plug.

this is a more basic way of doing it.
