Two or three computer power supplies...

i was thinking about doing that...safe?

i know how to wire everything already.....

just not sure if the wire it comes with (like 16gauge) would be enough to handle 1000 watts+

If you want to run that kind of power, just buy dedicated gear meant for 120VAC.

Buy a plate amp instead of a power supply for the sub amp and use a computer power supply for your mids/highs unless you want to just buy a receiver for that as well.

Check parts express for plate amps. Definitely do NOT rig something up like that ^^

i used the + into the remote turn on....and it went into protect.

im wondering if i use a different source of remote turn on like not at 20 amps....like a .5@12v...would it still go into protect?

(im not very knowledgeable about the whole going into protect....but going into protect does not mean its broken....right?)
