sub in my room?

so you need.....HU, AMP, Plate amp, and converter? ( is that the converter on the bottom shelf?)

 

[Prowler573 5,000+ posts]

why not just buy a sub amp made for home audio use. after all a speaker is a speaker. people always want to run 12v amps in home and it doesn't make sense when they make amps for home/pa use that run on 110v. why make it harder than it is

Because the mobile gear is something they already have and the average person doesn't realize that for the same expenditure that a decently sized power supply is going to run them they can buy a cheapie receiver or a plate amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

No, the small black unit on the bottom shelf is a Proton 222 2-channel amplifier that I just yesterday sold and am awaiting payment to arrive in the mail. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
The power supply is the big black box on the top shelf behind the HU and that KAC-PS150 amp (the black box with the two analog meters on the front of it)

Your needing a plate amp and a car amp is rather counterproductive. You need some sort of appropriate amplification for whatever you're trying to amplify. What drivers are you wanting to have in-house?

As far as a website to buy them goes look it up! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/search.gif.e79a63b2b580b39b282dff402646b704.gif Google is your friend //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

C'mon, guys! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif I'm not going to do all your homework for you. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Read the thread, friend! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif I very plainly spelled it out for you in a previous post:

I use converters made by Pyramid. Yep ~ the same guys that make incredibly crappy car audio gear.
Remember the old Pyramid Gold Phase III products? That is how the power supplies I have are labeled. They've proven unendingly reliable and worth their cost.

I buy mine locally from the best CB technician in town. It is not at all uncommon for a CB enthusiast to run mobile gear in their house as opposed to home gear due to the vast difference in cost. Gotta provide power to all that gear meant to go in Bubba's pickup, right? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif 'Cause if you didn't know there are amplifiers for CB radio, too. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Check around town and see if there is a CB technician or a supply house of some sort for CB enthusiasts....they'll have 'em, I promise. Barring that Google "Pyramid Phase III by Tenna power supplies" and I would imagine that more than a few sites that carry them will pop up. Don't pay more than $115/shipped for a 35 ampere constant power supply. It isn't worth it beyond that price. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Like that, yes, but a much larger amperage capacity. The one you've linked to is only a 5 ampere unit (keeping in mind that your average modern HU can draw more current than that at full tilt)

 

[4runnercrazy 10+ year member]

well i only want to run i amp, would it be enough or would i need more

btw thanks for all the help //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 

[Prowler573 5,000+ posts]

What are you going to be using for a source? A HU or what?

To run an amp you're going to need more current than the 5 ampere will give you.

I would suggest something more along the lines of this.

i have a home audio reciver plugged into the wall

You'll still need more than a 5 ampere power supply to run pretty much any amplifier. The little Proton 222 (22w X 2 channels) amp that I recently sold will draw around 9 amperes at full tilt //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

okay so mabye around 10-15 amps?

That could run a decent sized amp at a moderate volume, yes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
