[QUOTE="asultsniper50j, post: 7212832, member: 629625"] If you mean power the amp in your house for the subs.. Yes you can do it.. i have some hooked to my computer..lol... Im using a computer power supply rated at 250 watts but the amp im using is only 200 watts so it works.. so if you wanted a 1000watt amp to run.. you would need a 1000 watt or most likely a little more powerful PSU (computers power supply unit) to run it or multiple smaller ones wired together... but you need to go by the max watts and rms.. because if you chose a PSU that it 250 watts for a 200watt rms amp and the amp hits hard and peaks over 250watts it will trip the breaker built in the PSU... thats another perk to using a computer PSU.. it has a built in breaker so you dont burn your house down or your system.
