How do I make a system plug into a wall socket (120v)?

I have a system that I need to be able to run on AC current (house plug). What do I need to make it do this?

Computer power supply? There's a similar thread going right now I think.

Just get a battery charger/tender and keep it hooked up to a car battery and hook everything up from there just like in a car...as long as you aren't playing the heck out of it (if you just have a small charger) it should be fine.

computer power supplies.

connect the green wire to a black one.

use the yellow and black wires for power and ground.

So a 200 watt power supply can run a 2200 watt sub amp?

A battery/charger can be used indoors without releasing posionous gas while charging?

Someone who doesn't understand the difference between DC and AC should be told to wire a 12 volt device to a powersupply and wire up the 120 volt connector with no further instructions?

Are you guys going to be there to help put the fire out when he burns his roommates alive?

Battery with charger isn't a good solution, even with sealed batteries. Computer power supplies can't provide enough current to power much more than a head unit. To do this, you would need one or more DC power supplies. They're not cheap.
