DO NOT plug your car audio amplifier into your house's outlet. It WILL fry.

You can power a car audio amplifier with your house's wall outlets, but you would need to get an AC-DC convertor with enough amperage output to support the amplifier, and then plug the amplifier into the convertor. But no, you can not connect the amplifier directly into the outlet.

Better option is to just buy a damned home audio amplifer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

120V AC to 12V DC, enough amperage to match your fuse rating should suffice

oh ok wait im not really good with converters what does it look like

Something like this:

i would assume that it would say somewhere on it that it's a converter

ohhh ok i have one of those so how do i know how much power to give the amp?

It should give a maximum current rating...

I doubt you have one to properly power it to useful levels...just buy a dedicated 120VAC amplifier instead of trying to half-*** it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
