[QUOTE="pervertatoid, post: 2898340, member: 574795"] Okay, I'm not sure about where to post this. But before anyone says this should go in a different forum, I'm trying to build a car audio testing set up. If my battery or alternator isn't putting out enough power for my setup, I would upgrade/add extra batteries or upgrade/add another alternator, right? Would this same principle apply to a computer power supply? I mean, if I've got a 500w power supply, but I need more power, could I hook up multiple computer power supplies and get the extra output required? If I needed 1000w for my computer, I'd buy a 1000w power supply. But for a car audio testing set up, I'd rather use the spare power supplies I've got laying around if it's possible. I figure it's the same theory since I'm working with DC current, but it is converting from AC, so I don't know if that changes anything. [/QUOTE]
